In dark green (890), this DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread has a deep tone, strongly associated with forest motifs, dense foliage, and Christmas compositions with pine trees and holly. It is made of 100% mercerized cotton, combed, flame-singed, and mercerized twice, which gives it an intense pearly sheen and good resistance to wear. Because it is not divisible, it maintains the same thickness throughout the work. It comes in a 10g skein with 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 in winter compositions and forest motifs.
