DMC Special Embroidery is a 100% brilliant cotton thread. The thread is colourfast making it highly resistant to both light and washing. It is recommended for delicate stitches and fine motifs. The thread is particularly well suited for big stitch quilting (see the cushion in the gallery),  embroidery on household linen. We use it as our "go to" thread  for visible quilting. Each reel is 23m long.
