The white color (B5200) of this DMC Perlé No. 8 embroidery thread is a pure and classic white, suitable for towels, bed linen, lace, and traditional monograms. It is a 100% mercerized cotton thread, combed, flame-singed, and mercerized twice, with an intense pearly sheen and a smooth surface that does not yellow over time when well cared for. Because it is not divisible, it guarantees uniformity in each embroidered stitch. It comes in a 10g skein with 80 meters, and is wash-resistant. It is suitable for cross-stitch, hardanger, richelieu, blackwork, redwork, smocking, appliqué, and fine crochet, making it an essential choice for those working on trousseau, christening, or wedding items in light colors.
