DMC 6-Strand Cotton Embroidery Floss is a divisible 8 m (8.7 yd) skein for cross-stitch, surface embroidery, friendship bracelets and small decorative sewing. The cotton thread separates into six strands so makers can vary coverage from fine detail to fuller fill. Use this Brown shade on needlework fabric, hoops, samplers and mixed-media crafts. Match needle size and strand count to your fabric and project instructions for best results.
