In lettuce green (704), this DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread has a fresh, light tone, ideal for spring motifs, young foliage, and compositions with softer tones. It is made from 100% mercerized cotton, combed, flame-singed, and mercerized twice, giving it a soft pearly sheen and a smooth surface. Because it is not divisible, it maintains the same thickness throughout the project. It comes in a 10g skein with 80 meters, with long-lasting color even after frequent washing. It is suitable for cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué, and fine crochet, and is a very popular color for spring compositions and light foliage motifs.
