DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread in brown (433) has an earthy tone, often used for animal motifs, tree trunks, and natural or rustic compositions. It is made from 100% mercerized cotton, combed, flame-singed, and mercerized twice, giving it a pearly sheen and good resistance to wear. Because it is not divisible, it maintains the same thickness throughout the embroidery. It comes in 10g skeins of 80 meters, with long-lasting color even after repeated washings. It is suitable for traditional embroidery, cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué, and crochet, being an essential color for outlines, shadows, and natural details in many needlework projects.
