In light gray (415), this DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread has a soft tone, ideal for delicate shading and compositions that require a more discreet gray than the medium shade. It is made of 100% mercerized, combed, flame-singed and twice-mercerized cotton, which gives it a soft pearly sheen and a smooth, soft surface. Because it is not divisible, it maintains the same thickness throughout the work. It comes in a 10g skein with 80 meters, with colorfast to light and washing. It is suitable for cross stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué and fine crochet, being a good option for depth effects in neutral-toned embroidery.
