Six-strand embroidery floss 100% mercerized cotton, extremely strong and colorfast. Ideal for making detailed stitches, freehand embroidery, punch needle projects, and much more. Each skein measures 8 meters long and consists of 6 separable threads, allowing you to adjust the thickness to your project. This gives you the freedom to experiment and create all the desired details or effects. Mercerization gives the thread its beautiful shiny surface, but also makes it stronger and intensifies the color, so it remains bright and beautiful for a long time.
