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.

No, this thread is non-divisible, meaning the four strands are manufactured to stay together as one single unit.
Size 25 refers to the specific weight and thickness of the thread, which is standardized to ensure consistent results in embroidery.
This thread is primarily engineered for hand embroidery; check your machine's manual for recommended thread types.
Each unit of DMC Coton A Broder comes with 28 meters of thread.
Mercerization is a treatment that improves the thread's luster, dye affinity, and strength, giving it a smoother finish.
Check if your needle eye is too small or has a burr; try using a larger or higher-quality embroidery 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.
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.
