993A/8 PETRA 1 PELOTE 100G GROSSEUR 8

For light and elegant openwork creations, DMC Petra 993A n°8 crochet thread in Light Pale Yellow 5745 offers ideal fineness. This 100% cotton yarn is worked with a No. 3 to No. 4 hook and displays all its delicacy in airy patterns: placemats, shawls, summer tops or small accessories. The very pale yellow shade, almost ivory, slightly tinged with honey, adapts equally well to monochrome projects as well as to subtle combinations with whites or natural beiges.

Composition and origin : 100% combed cotton, 100 g ball. Made in France , this yarn benefits from French know-how in fine spinning. The regular and shiny texture of Petra ensures homogeneous stitches and great dimensional stability after washing.

Available in a single package of 100 g per ball, this yarn offers a good working length to cover medium to generous sized projects.

• Work in tight openwork stitches for placemats with very clear geometric or floral patterns.
• Dry your items flat after washing at 30°C to maintain the definition of the stitches.
• Combine this pale yellow with pure white to create crocheted pointillism gradients, an ideal technique for flowers or foliage.
• Use a slightly fine hook to densify the stitch and increase the durability of frequently worn pieces.
• Wrap the unfinished balls in tissue paper: this thread fears direct rays of the sun which can alter its shine.

This thread combines perfectly with other shades in the Petra range to create subtle polychrome patterns, or with off-white and beige threads for natural and timeless compositions. To enrich your project, complete with seed beads or small mother-of-pearl buttons: Light Pale Yellow 5745 welcomes these finishes with harmony.
