These cottons can be used in the same way as DMC Stranded Cottons and give stunning results to your finished work, creating a unique finish every time. They are an original, heirloom-quality DMC cotton embroidery floss, easy care and can be washed in warm water (60 degrees). Light-fast, wash-fast, colourfast. The tones available from neighbouring families create a rich, vibrant effect with no harsh contrasts. Colours blend gently and seamlessly one into another.
