Also available in light blue (809), this DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread has a brighter and more vibrant tone than the classic light blue, making it suitable for sky or water motifs or compositions that require more contrast. It is a 100% mercerized cotton thread, combed, flame singeed and mercerized twice, with a characteristic pearly sheen and good resistance to wear. Because it is not divisible, it maintains the same thickness throughout the entire work, which facilitates stitch control. It comes in a 10g, 80-meter skein, with proven colorfastness. It is suitable for cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué and fine crochet, being a popular choice in Scandinavian and Mediterranean-inspired embroidery.
