DMC Coton à Broder Size 16 is designed for needlework enthusiasts and textile artists who prioritize precision and a smooth, professional finish in their decorative embroidery. Crafted from high-quality, long-fibre cotton, this thread offers exceptional control through its non-divisible 4-strand construction, making it perfect for intricate motifs. While its superior finish ensures your work stays beautiful, users should note that as a non-divisible thread, it is best suited for fine-detail work rather than projects requiring varying thread thicknesses.

No, DMC Coton à Broder is a non-divisible 4-strand thread designed to be used as a single unit.
Mercerisation is a process that treats the cotton to improve its strength, luster, and affinity for dye, resulting in a smoother finish.
While it can be used for various needlework, it is specifically optimized for surface embroidery and decorative motifs rather than standard cross-stitch.
Each spool contains 20 metres of thread.
The high-quality construction is designed to hold color well, but you should always use mild detergents and avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the appearance.
Ensure your needle size is matched correctly to the thread weight and that the needle eye is not sharp or damaged.
Periodically drop your needle and let it hang freely; this allows the thread to untwist naturally and restores its original tension.
To achieve the best results with DMC Coton à Broder, ensure you are using an embroidery needle appropriate for Size 16 thread to prevent fabric damage and ensure smooth passage. Since this thread is highly refined, it is recommended to work with shorter lengths (approximately 30-40cm) to maintain the integrity of the fibre and prevent unnecessary wear during stitching. Store your spools in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy and lustre. When washing finished pieces, use mild soap and cool water, taking care not to subject the embroidery to harsh agitation.
