DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread in dark burgundy (814) has an intense and sophisticated tone, highly sought after for floral motifs, Christmas compositions, and elegant decorative pieces. It is made from 100% mercerized, combed, flame-singed, and twice-mercerized cotton, giving it a deep pearly sheen and a texture resistant to repeated handling. Because it is not divisible, it maintains the same thickness throughout the work. It comes in 10g skeins of 80 meters, with proven colorfastness after washing. It is suitable for traditional embroidery, cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué, and crochet, and is a very popular color for tablecloths, napkins, and winter decorative pieces.
