Pearl cotton variations is a lustrous multi-color, highly mercerised, non-divisible thread with an over-dyed look. Made of 100-percent cotton thread. It is available in beautiful shades with twisted skein. Each skein of pearl cotton variations is a combination of current DMC colors, allowing stitchers to coordinate pearl cotton variations with DMC pearl cotton to create beautiful designs with colors that compliment one another perfectly. Completely colourfast, fade resistant, and offers guaranteed color consistency from one skein to another. The thread can be washed at high temperatures 95°C, 203°F. Particular attention should be paid to the fabric on which the thread was embroidered. After washing, wrap the embroidery in a towel to remove excess water, then dry flat. Place the embroidery on a clean cloth, preferably while still damp, and iron on the reverse side, at the temperature setting recommended for the fabric. Available in crystal water color and size 5. Measures 27-yard in length.
