993A/5 PETRA 4 PELOTES 100G GROSSEUR 5

For airy and bright work, DMC Petra 993A n°5 crochet thread is a natural choice. Its light tangerine color 5742 brings warmth without overloading the knits: ideal for summer pieces, light accessories or interior decoration projects. This 100 g ball of 100% combed cotton spins regularly, providing constant tension at each row.

100% cotton yarn made in France, Petra 993A n°5 can be worked with a crochet hook of size 3.5 to 4.5 mm depending on your desired ventilation. Light Mandarin color 5742 — a bright, soft orange — pairs perfectly with neutral shades and other citrus tones. This ball offers a nice length of yarn, covering medium to large projects.

Available variations: this thread exists in several DMC color numbers, allowing you to combine Light Mandarin 5742 with other shades in the range for harmonious gradients or contrasting stripes.

• Use 3.5 to 4.5 mm needles or hooks depending on the desired stitch style (tight or open).
• This cotton withstands repeated machine washing at 40°C: ideal for clothes worn regularly.
• Work in two strands for a gradient effect by crossing the colors with a second DMC Petra thread of a similar shade.
• Crochet a lightweight triangular shawl by cutting the thread every 10 stitches to create a natural fringe.
• Combine Light Mandarin 5742 with an off-white thread to evoke sunsets in openwork knit.

To enhance this warm shade, accompany it with a natural white thread or ecru cotton to create a soothing duality. A very fine black thread in detail also gives structure. Think about matching accessories — clutches, light bags — for a cohesive creation in orange tonal.
