For airy works in pure cotton, the Petra 993A n°5 thread from DMC is an ally of choice. This 100 g yarn in 100% cotton offers a regular structure and a balanced twist, ideal for medium-sized crochet. The Light Plum color 53607 gives a soft, nuanced shade, perfect for summer pieces or light accessories.

Technical characteristics : DMC Petra 993A thread n°5, 100% cotton composition, 100 g ball. French manufacturing — an asset for designers who favor quality French spinning mills. The fineness of No. 5 allows you to work with hooks of size 3 to 4 mm depending on the desired density, and guarantees good definition of the stitches.

The Light Plum color 53607 pairs elegantly with neutral tones – ecru, off-white, light gray – as well as with complementary shades in blue-gray or powder pink for subtle gradient effects.

• Work with short 40 cm needles to preserve the twist of the thread and avoid any loosening during work.
• To check the density before starting, knit a 10 x 10 cm test square and wash it at 30°C — DMC cotton retains its natural elasticity.
• This ball easily covers a small sweater or sleeveless cardigan for an adult in tight knit stitch.
• Combine this Petra with a very fine sequin or lurex thread to add lightness to neckline or cuff details.
• In openwork stitch or lace, Light Plum 53607 creates very elegant transparency effects on summer dresses or shawls.

Combine this thread with mother-of-pearl buttons or pearls to enrich your finishes, or combine it with a thicker cotton from the same DMC range to vary the textures and create stitch contrasts in a single piece.
