DMC six-strand embroidery floss is a 100% cotton thread for embroidery, cross-stitch, needlepoint details, friendship bracelets, and decorative handwork. This purple 8 m (8.7 yd) skein separates into six strands, letting makers choose a light line, fuller coverage, or blended shading. Use it for outlines, fills, lettering, accents, and repairs on compatible needlework fabrics with a hand embroidery needle.
