DMC Coton A Broder is designed for embroidery enthusiasts and professional crafters who demand precision, durability, and a clean finish for detailed motifs. Crafted from high-quality long-fibre cotton, it offers excellent consistency and prevents common stitching frustrations like knotting or fraying; however, note that this is a non-divisible thread, meaning it cannot be split for thinner applications.

No, this is a non-divisible thread consisting of 4 strands that are intended to be used as a single unit.
Each skein of this DMC Coton A Broder contains 20 metres of thread.
It is generally not used for traditional cross-stitch, which often requires separating strands to adjust thickness; it is best suited for surface embroidery.
Mercerisation is a process that strengthens the cotton and gives it a soft, silk-like sheen while improving dye absorption.
The thread is flame-singed during manufacturing to remove surface fibres, which significantly reduces fluffing and fraying.
Periodically let your needle hang free to allow the thread to untwist itself naturally.
Use a sharp needle with an appropriately sized eye and cut the thread at a 45-degree angle for a cleaner entry.
To begin using the thread, carefully remove the paper label to avoid snagging the fibres. Because this is a high-quality cotton product, ensure your needles are free of burrs or rust, as the thread’s smooth finish can be damaged by rough tool surfaces. For care, keep the thread away from direct, prolonged sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the dye. If washing finished pieces, use mild detergents and avoid harsh bleaching agents to ensure the long-fibre cotton maintains its structural integrity and soft hand feel over time.
