DMC Perlé embroidery thread #8 in dark blue (823) has a deep and elegant tone, widely used in formal monograms, embroidered uniforms, and nautical motifs that require strong contrast. It is produced from 100% mercerized cotton, with a combing, flame singeing, and double mercerization process, resulting in an intense pearly sheen and a resistant texture. This is a non-divisible thread, which guarantees regularity in each stitch without the need to separate thin strands. Each skein weighs 10g and is 80 meters long, with colorfastness to washing and light. It is suitable for traditional embroidery, cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué, and crochet, being a classic option for those seeking dark tones with great visual durability.
