993A/5 PETRA 4 PELOTES 100G GROSSEUR 5

For your summer crochet creations, light parrot green 5907 offers a bright and cheerful shade, ideal for light pieces intended for sunny days. This 100 g ball of 100% pure cotton is worked with a No. 5 hook and provides natural softness on contact with the skin.

100% cotton yarn made in France , DMC Petra 993A promises exceptional color fastness and consistency. Light parrot green 5907 does not fade when machine washed at 40°C, an essential prerequisite for creations intended for children. This lightweight range, specially designed for crochet, offers excellent stitch definition and a very regular stitch, even for beginners.

Work this ball in amigurumi for cuddly toys full of character, in berlingot for an airy summer sweater, or in air stitch for beach lace. The bright color pairs perfectly with complementary shades like off-white or straw yellow to create dynamic contrasts.

• Cast on a chain of tight stitches and switch to the double crochet stitch for a soft and breathable canvas, perfect in July-August.
• Use a No. 5 crochet needle to maintain regular tension and obtain a stitch that is neither too loose nor too tight.
• Wrap the thread around two fingers, guiding it slightly to avoid pulling too hard and maintain a certain fluidity in your movement.
• Pre-wash the ball before starting if you fear slight bleeding, common with dyed cottons.
• Combine this green with gold lurex thread to add fantasy to the appliqués or finishes of a child's dress.

Combine this thread with DMC finishing accessories — wooden buttons or stitch markers — to enhance your projects. The light parrot green also goes well with matching cotton ribbons to border the armholes or form decorative cords to then sew onto the finished knitting.
