The DMC Coton A Broder Special Embroidery Thread is an ideal choice for needlework enthusiasts and textile artists seeking professional-grade quality for intricate embroidery projects. Featuring 4 non-divisible strands of high-quality long-fiber cotton, this thread provides a smooth, consistent finish that resists knotting and fraying, though users should note that the non-divisible nature of the thread limits its use to specific embroidery techniques rather than general cross-stitch applications.

No, this is a non-divisible thread designed to be used as a solid 4-strand cord.
Each skein contains 28 meters of high-quality embroidery thread.
While it can be used for various needlework, it is primarily designed for embroidery techniques that require non-divisible strands.
Using a shorter thread length and ensuring you are pulling the thread through the fabric at a consistent angle will help prevent tangles.
Mercerisation is a process that treats the cotton to increase its luster, strength, and affinity for dyes.
Ensure you are using a needle with an appropriately sized eye and double-check that the fabric is not too tightly woven for the thread gauge.
Periodically drop your needle and let the thread hang freely to untwist, or use a shorter length of thread to manage tension better.
To begin your project, carefully pull the thread from the center of the skein to prevent tangling. This thread is compatible with standard embroidery needles; choose a needle size that allows the thread to pass through the eye comfortably without fraying. For care, keep the thread in its original packaging away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If you need to wash your finished project, use a mild detergent and cool water, and lay flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the mercerised finish.
