DMC Pearl Cotton Thread is made of highly mercerized cotton, offering a lustrous, non-divisible, and 100% cotton fiber. This thread is spun onto a ball rather than a twisted skein, making it soft, silky, and resistant to fluffing or kinking. Its double mercerization process imparts a beautiful pearlescent sheen. Ideal for various embroidery projects. To care for your embroidery, wash it, wrap it in a towel to remove excess water, and then dry it flat. Available in the color Light Old Gold.
