993A/5 PETRA 4 PELOTES 100G GROSSEUR 5

DMC Petra 993A n°5 crochet thread in Medium Delft Blue 5799 is a must-have for your summer crochet or amigurumi projects. This 100 g ball of 100% cotton offers remarkable flexibility and is easy to work with, even on medium-sized hooks. The soft and elegant medium Delft blue hue is reminiscent of historic Dutch ceramics: it pairs well with neutral tones as well as pastel accents to create subtle contrasts.

Petra thread n°5 is a very regular twisted cotton , ideal for structured projects such as bags, shawls or summer clothes. Made in France , it benefits from recognized traditional spinning quality. The 100% cotton composition guarantees excellent breathability and optimal comfort when wearing. This yarn is easily crocheted with 3.5 to 4.5 mm needles for delicate projects, or with 4 to 5 mm hooks for a more airy finish.

• Work with needles of 40 to 50 cm to limit friction and maintain the softness of the yarn over the rows.
• Use this medium blue in gradient with a navy or sky blue to create natural visual depth on a throw or sweater.
• Test the Petra in openwork stitches: its regularity allows for impeccable geometric patterns, particularly on summer scarves.
• Combine this yarn with accessories in warm tones — ecru, taupe, terracotta — for a harmonious contrast without breaking.
• Wash your creations in lukewarm water with a mild soap: 100% cotton retains its suppleness and color even after several cleaning cycles.

To enrich this medium Delft blue 5799, combine it with a finer thread from the same DMC range in a taupe or ivory tone, or combine it with pearl cotton in a complementary shade for chain stitch finishes. Petra creations are also perfectly complemented with natural wooden buttons or crochet stitch markers, which emphasize the artisanal and traditional aspect of the yarn.
