BABYLO 147D/10 1 PELOTE 50G

This old gold warms the eyes: a deep and matte shade, generous without being garish. It is suitable for structured items – throws, bags, sweaters – which gain richness with this timeless shade. Combine it with neutral tones like beige or ecru to emphasize its warmth, or let it interact with strong blues for a subtle contrast.

DMC Babylo crochet thread is 100% combed long staple cotton , flame-passed then mercerized twice to obtain a strong, soft and silky finish. This treatment gives it a clean and regular appearance which slides well under the hook and highlights the fine points. The range is available in five sizes : the higher the number, the finer the thread, which allows the thickness to be precisely adapted to each work, from the most delicate lace crochet to more textured pieces. The ball in size no. 10 is worked with a hook matching this fineness, for a clean result even on tight stitches. Made in France, this cotton thread can be machine washed at 60°C, a real advantage for decorative pieces or household linen handled regularly.
