993A/8 PETRA 1 PELOTE 100G GROSSEUR 8

Are you looking for a crochet thread that combines finesse and robustness for your summer projects? The Petra 993A n°8 from DMC is easy to work with, offering a beautiful regularity of stitch even on small diameter hooks. Its fawn beige color 5436 brings warmth without being visually overwhelming: ideal for light sweaters, openwork shawls or period accessories.

Composition 100% cotton , this 100 g ball offers a good working length. Yarn size no. 8 , it can be crocheted with a 2.5 or 3 mm needle depending on your tension. The fineness of the cotton allows for sharp details, while its weight remains light. Made in France , this yarn benefits from DMC know-how in terms of dyeing and regularity.

• Start with a 2.5 mm hook and adjust according to your tension: this yarn requires a firm but not tense grip.
• Tawny beige goes particularly well with ecru and warm grays to create subtle gradients.
• Work with openwork or relief stitches: the warm color of 5436 reads beautifully in the play of empty and full spaces.
• This cotton, washable at 40°C, holds up very well after several washes; no noticeable shrinkage if you respect the temperature.
• For tight ankles or flat hems, prefer chain or half-double crochet stitches: the thread does not catch and slides cleanly.

Combine this thread with ecru mother-of-pearl buttons or natural wooden beads to enhance your finishes. An openwork lace accessory or a seasonal open cardigan gain elegance with this slightly grayed fawn beige.
