DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread in dark linen (712), a warm cream tone, is widely used in vintage motifs, lace, and classically inspired designs. It is made from 100% mercerized, combed, flame-singed, and twice-mercerized cotton, with a soft pearly sheen and a smooth texture. Being non-divisible, it ensures uniformity in each stitch without the need to separate threads. It comes in 10g skeins of 80 meters, with colorfast to light and washing. It is suitable for traditional embroidery, cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué, and crochet, and is a popular warmer alternative to white in linen and home decor items.
