993A/5 PETRA 4 PELOTES 100G GROSSEUR 5

Are you looking for a crochet thread that is robust and pleasant to work with? The Pearl Gray 54003 of DMC Petra 993A n°5 thread offers a neutral and calming shade, perfect for structured projects such as sweaters, cardigans or summer accessories. This slightly pearly gray blends harmoniously with a wide range of colors and fits just as well into a minimalist creation as into a multi-colored work.

100% cotton and made in France , this thread benefits from recognized manufacturing quality. Size No. 5 fits medium sized hooks (4 to 5 mm), offering a balance between density and ease of work. With its 100 g per ball, you have a generous quantity to start a large project.

• Work with 60 to 80 cm needles to prevent the stitches from becoming too loose and catching your fingers.
• Combine this pearl gray with off-white or taupe to create subtle gradients and texture plays.
• Test first on a small square: the cotton relaxes slightly when first immersed in water, adjust your thread tension if necessary.
• This thread can be machine washed at 40°C, ideal for everyday pieces intended for children or very worn creations.
• Wrap your remaining balls around a card: DMC cotton has a tendency to slip and unroll if left loose.

Combine it with quality hooks and a stable anchor point to optimize your working comfort. A finer wool or cotton of the same color will allow you to add delicate details - lace, air stitch finishing or contrasting selvedge.
