Made of 100% combed cotton , this yarn offers a natural shine and color fastness recognized. The 25 g skein allows you to make medium-sized projects without breakage. French manufacturing guarantees consistent quality and respect for the traditions of European embroidery.

Color White 3865 is a pure, luminous white, perfect for classic works, monograms and delicate details. It combines with all the colors in the DMC range to create gradients of values ​​or sharp contrasts.

• Work with short needles of 40 to 50 cm to preserve the shine of the thread and avoid fraying.
• On fine embroidery canvas (Aida 14 or 28 thread linen), use the thread as is in cross stitch for perfect coverage.
• For flat backstitch or backstitching, maintain regular tension: this thread does not tolerate jerks.
• Combine this white with pastel or neutral shades for delicate shabby chic or Provencal style embroidery.
• In grosgrain canvas, it creates subtle reliefs when you combine it with thicker wool threads.

Combine this white thread with shades of pearl gray or light beige from the Retors d'Alsace range to create refined monochrome panels, or with ecru and ivory colors for material effects. DMC Perlé Cotton n°8 also finds its place in ornamental embroidery or finishing crochet works: its regular thickness makes it ideal for edging a handkerchief or sewing the seams of a knitted piece.
