223 DMC Perle 12 Ball x 10 grams

DMC Perle Cotton Balls have a reputation as the most beautiful thread in the world. This luminous cotton thread is highly mercerized and non-divisible. It is soft, silky and ideal for embroidery, needlepoint, hardanger, blackwork, redwork, pulled thread, smocking, applique, crochet and other types of creative stitchery.

DMC Perle Cotton (Coton Perlé or Pearl Cotton) comes in four sizes – the thickest is #3, next is #5, then #8 and the thinnest is #12.

DMC #12 is similar in size to 1-2 strands of DMC stranded embroidery thread. The colour numbers transfer between DMC Stranded Cotton and the Perle Cotton, but he colour match can vary a little though.

Care and Washing: DMC Pearl Cotton is mostly colourfast and can usually be washed carefully in warm water without fading.  Please check all threads before use though. Test a small length particularly of the darker colours ie the darker reds, greens and purples.
Please check that the fabric on which the thread was embroidered on is also safe to wash.

Each ball has approx 120 metres of thread (141 yards).
