993A/5 PETRA 4 PELOTES 100G GROSSEUR 5

For airy outdoor projects, DMC Petra 993A n°5 crochet thread in blue 54462 offers lightness and flexibility. This 100 g ball of 100% cotton allows you to make breathable pieces, ideal for summer or delicate accessories. The yarn wraps easily around the hook and creates even stitches effortlessly.

Composition and origin: 100% spun cotton and made in France. This natural material ensures great regularity of weaving and a careful finish. The 100 g format offers a good reserve for medium-sized projects, such as a shawl, a tank top or various accessories. Size No. 5 is generally worked with a 3.5 to 4 mm hook.

The blue color 54462 is a light, slightly grayed blue, perfect for summer pieces that go as well in monochrome as in combination with whites or natural beiges.

• Work with needles or 50 cm segments to prevent the thread from fraying prematurely when crocheting.
• Crochet in airy stitches — double crochets, half double crochets, air stitches — to maximize the light and ventilated effect of cotton.
• For small pieces, prepare separate balls before starting, to facilitate color transitions.
• Try pairing with naturally dyed yarns or pastel shades to create subtle gradients.
• At the end of your work, wash in lukewarm water with a mild soap and dry flat to preserve the flexibility of the stitches.

Pair this yarn with a 3.5 or 4 mm hook for an airy finish, and complete your projects with DMC stitch markers or bamboo tapestry needles for finishing touches. Balls of DMC Natura combed cotton or other Petra shades also offer great combination possibilities for multi-colored projects.
