DMC Perlé embroidery thread #8 in dark grey (413) has a deep tone, ideal for strong outlines, defined shadows, and urban or graphic style motifs. It is made from 100% mercerized cotton, using a combing, flame singeing, and double mercerization process, resulting in a pearly sheen and good wear resistance. This non-divisible thread ensures consistency and facilitates stitch tension control. Each skein weighs 10g and is 80 meters long, with colorfastness even after repeated washings. It is suitable for traditional embroidery, cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué, and crochet, and is a useful base color in modern and monochromatic compositions.
