DMC Coton A Broder size 16 is a premium embroidery thread designed for needlework enthusiasts who prioritize precision, durability, and a professional finish in their detailed motifs and decorative projects. Crafted from high-quality, long-fibre cotton, it offers a smooth, mercerised texture that resists knotting and fraying, though users should note that the thread is non-divisible and must be used as a single unit to maintain its intended weight and consistency.

No, this thread is non-divisible and designed to be used as a single 4-strand unit.
Size 16 is thicker than size 25. The higher the number, the finer the thread weight.
Yes, DMC threads are known for excellent color fastness, but you should always test with hot water or harsh detergents.
Flame-singeing removes loose surface fibers, resulting in a smoother thread that is less likely to pill or fray.
Embroidery or crewel needles with a sharp point are recommended for the best performance with this thread.
It is primarily designed for hand embroidery. Using it in a machine may result in breakage unless your machine is specifically set up for heavier weight threads.
Let your needle hang freely periodically to allow the thread to untwist naturally, or use a shorter length of thread.
Use a sharp needle threader and ensure the cut end of the thread is clean; if it frays, snip a tiny amount off the tip.
Ensure you are using a consistent tension; if the fabric is too thick, the friction can cause the thread to stretch unevenly.
To ensure the best results, use a needle size appropriate for size 16 weight to avoid unnecessary wear on the thread. When beginning a project, avoid starting with a knot; instead, weave your ends into the back of your stitching to keep the reverse side as clean as the front.
