The brick color (356) of this DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread has a reddish-earthy tone, strongly associated with rustic, autumnal motifs and country-inspired compositions. It is a 100% mercerized cotton thread, combed, flame-singed and mercerized twice, with a soft pearly sheen and good resistance to wear. Because it is not divisible, it always maintains the same thickness, facilitating stitch control. It comes in a 10g skein with 80 meters, with proven colorfastness after washing. It is suitable for traditional embroidery, cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué and fine crochet, being a color widely used in autumn compositions and terracotta motifs.
