DMC's famous Pearl Cotton, the most beautiful embroidery thread in the world, spun onto a ball rather than a twisted skein. This pearl cotton thread ball is soft, silky, does not fluff or kink. Made of 100 percent long fiber cotton, finest. This thread has double mercerizing which gives it its beautiful pearlescent sheen. After washing, wrap the embroidery in a towel to remove excess water, then dry flat. Available in very light shell pink color.
