Product Information

Full details

The DMC Coton A Broder (Size 25) is an essential choice for embroidery enthusiasts and textile artists who prioritize precision, durability, and a professional finish in their needlework. Crafted from high-quality long-staple cotton, this thread offers a smooth, mercerized surface that resists common issues like kinking and knotting, making it ideal for intricate designs and detailed stitching. While it provides exceptional control and a refined aesthetic, users should note that the four-strand structure is non-divisible, meaning it cannot be separated into thinner plies for variable thickness.

FAQs

Can I split the strands of this thread?

No, this thread is non-divisible, meaning the four strands are manufactured to stay together as one single unit.

What does 'Size 25' mean?

Size 25 refers to the specific weight and thickness of the thread, which is standardized to ensure consistent results in embroidery.

Is this thread suitable for machine embroidery?

This thread is primarily engineered for hand embroidery; check your machine's manual for recommended thread types.

How long is each spool?

Each unit of DMC Coton A Broder comes with 28 meters of thread.

What is mercerization?

Mercerization is a treatment that improves the thread's luster, dye affinity, and strength, giving it a smoother finish.

Troubleshooting

Thread fraying at the needle eye

Check if your needle eye is too small or has a burr; try using a larger or higher-quality embroidery needle.

Difficulty threading the needle

Use a standard wire needle threader or trim the end of the thread at a sharp 45-degree angle to create a clean tip.

  • Excellent durability due to long-staple cotton construction

  • Not suitable for projects requiring delicate, single-ply detailing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure you are using a needle size appropriate for size 25 embroidery thread, typically an embroidery or tapestry needle with an eye large enough to prevent the thread from fraying during the threading process. When starting a project, always use a knot-free method, such as a waste knot or weaving the tail into the back of the work, to preserve the smooth finish of the thread. For care, keep the thread in its original packaging when not in use to avoid dust accumulation or environmental damage. Hand wash finished pieces using mild soap and cool water, then lay flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the mercerized sheen.
