In dark old rose (223), this DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread has a deep and elegant tone, a more intense version of old rose, suitable for sophisticated vintage motifs and autumn compositions. It is made of 100% mercerized cotton, combed, flame singeed and mercerized twice, which gives it a soft pearly sheen and good resistance to wear. Because it is not divisible, it always 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 cross stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué and fine crochet, being a color of great elegance in classic and vintage compositions.
