Product Information

Full details

DMC Coton A Broder, specifically the size 25 variant, is a premium choice for embroidery enthusiasts seeking a refined, professional finish for their needlework projects. Crafted from high-quality, long-staple cotton, this thread is ideal for delicate detailing where consistency and smoothness are paramount; however, because the four strands are non-divisible, it is intended for use as a whole thread rather than for projects requiring thread separation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I split the strands of this thread?

No, this thread is non-divisible and is designed to be used as a single, 4-strand unit.

What is the length of one skein?

Each skein of DMC Coton A Broder size 25 contains 28 metres of thread.

Is this the same as DMC six-strand embroidery floss?

No, this is a different product. Coton A Broder is non-divisible and is processed for a specific smooth finish, unlike divisible stranded cotton.

What does 'mercerised' mean for this thread?

Mercerisation is a treatment that gives the cotton fibre a silkier appearance, improved strength, and better dye affinity.

Is this thread machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash your finished embroidery in cool water with mild soap to maintain the thread's integrity.

Troubleshooting

Thread appears to snag on fabric

Ensure your needle eye is not too small; if the needle is too thin, the thread will pull and fray against the eye.

Inconsistent tension

Ensure you are using an embroidery hoop to keep the fabric taut, as the non-divisible nature of this thread requires a stable surface to lay flat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality mercerised finish for a professional look
  • Extremely smooth texture prevents common knotting issues
  • Consistent strand thickness for uniform stitching
  • Durable long-fibre cotton construction

Cons

  • Non-divisible strands limit flexibility for varying stitch thickness
  • Specific size 25 is best suited for fine work rather than heavy coverage
  • Requires specific project compatibility as it is not an all-purpose floss

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure you are using an embroidery needle with a large enough eye to accommodate the non-divisible 4-strand thickness. This thread performs best on medium-weight cotton or linen fabrics.

To care for your finished work, hand wash using a mild detergent and cool water. Avoid harsh bleaching agents that can compromise the mercerised finish. When pressing finished embroidery, place the work face down on a soft towel and use a low-heat iron to preserve the texture and sheen of the thread.
