The DMC Coton A Broder (Size 25) is a premium embroidery thread designed for needleworkers who prioritize detail, smoothness, and precision in their projects. Crafted from the finest long-staple cotton, this thread provides a consistent, high-quality finish that resists tangling and fraying, making it an excellent choice for intricate embroidery or monogramming; however, please note that the four strands are non-divisible, meaning it is intended for use in its full thickness rather than for split-thread techniques.

No, DMC Coton A Broder is specifically constructed as a non-divisible 4-strand thread.
Mercerisation is a treatment that increases the thread's luster, strength, and ability to take dye, resulting in the signature DMC smooth finish.
DMC threads are generally highly colorfast, but it is recommended to wash finished projects in cool water with mild detergents.
Size 25 is ideal for fine, detailed embroidery, monogramming, and decorative stitching where control and a crisp finish are essential.
Each spool contains 28 meters of thread.
While typically used for surface embroidery, it can be used for cross-stitch if the thickness matches your desired coverage for the specific fabric count.
Ensure you are using clean hands, as body oils can dull the mercerized finish over extended periods of stitching.
Use a needle with a slightly larger eye or use a wire needle threader to avoid fraying the tip of the thread.
Check your tension dial on your frame or hoop; the smooth nature of this thread requires a consistent hand-pulling motion to maintain uniform loops.
To get the most out of your DMC Coton A Broder, ensure you are using a needle size appropriate for the size 25 weight—typically a size 7 or 9 embroidery needle works best. Since the thread is non-divisible, you do not need to separate strands; simply thread the needle with the entire weight. To maintain the life of your finished embroidery, store the thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation over time. When washing finished pieces, use mild soap and cool water, taking care to press the embroidery from the reverse side to preserve the raised texture of the stitches.
