993A/5 PETRA 4 PELOTES 100G GROSSEUR 5

For a light and airy summer item, the light spicy orange color 5722 brings warmth and brightness without overloading the stitches. This DMC Petra 993A n°5 crochet thread is used with medium-sized hooks, perfect for projects that require relief and texture. The 100 g ball of 100% combed cotton offers a good yardage capacity and a pleasant fineness to handle.

French manufacturing : this thread is produced in France, a guarantee of quality and recognized textile know-how. The #5 thickness makes it a versatile yarn, suitable for amigurumis as well as structured clothing or accessories. The 100% cotton material guarantees perfect hold when washing and optimal comfort for pieces worn against the skin.

Light Spicy Orange 5722 pairs easily with other warm tones — ochres, natural beiges, terracotta reds — or deliberately contrasts with gray blues for an original marine effect.

• Start with a 10 x 10 cm sample to check your stitch tension before starting the work.
• Work with bamboo or fine metal hooks to limit the shearing of the thread and gain regularity.
• Wind the thread into a compact ball rather than embroidering with a through thread, which prematurely tires the fibers.
• Combine this yarn with complementary yarns in warm tones to create subtle gradients or jacquard patterns.
• After washing, let dry in the open air in a flat position to maintain the shape and elasticity of the stitches.

This Spicy Orange 5722 combines perfectly with crochet threads from the same DMC Petra range to create harmonious projects, or with haberdashery accessories in natural wood which complete the warm and artisanal spirit of dyed cotton.
