993A/8 PETRA 1 PELOTE 100G GROSSEUR 8

A classic for lace and openwork designers: DMC Petra 993A n°8 crochet thread in Dark Delft Blue 5798. This deep blue, slightly gray shade evokes traditional Dutch ceramics and is suitable for both delicate projects and structured pieces. Work crochet in hand to create tablecloths, shawls, light clothing or decorative knits that play with the light.

Composition and characteristics : 100% cotton, 100 g ball. This No. 8 weight yarn offers ideal finesse and regularity for fine crochet, allowing subtle patterns and reliefs. Made in France, it benefits from recognized DMC spinning quality. The cotton material gives it natural flexibility and great absorption capacity, essential for summer works or lace that requires breathing.

• Work with a No. 2 or No. 2.5 hook to obtain regular stitches and clean holes.
• Separate the yarn into elementary stitches for the finest patterns or keep it whole for denser solids.
• Wash in cold water and dry flat to preserve the definition of the openwork patterns and the hold of the thread.
• Combine this dark Delft Blue 5798 with ivories or pearl grays to create subtle gradients typical of old-fashioned lace.
• Ideal for knitting triangular shawls, openwork shirts or doilies with geometric and floral patterns.

This crochet thread finds its best expression in air stitch, baguette stitch or openwork patterns: each stitch becomes transparent. Combine it with a fine plain cotton to border them or with other colors from the Petra range to create monochrome pieces.
