DMC six-strand embroidery floss is a stranded cotton thread for cross-stitch, embroidery and counted-thread projects. Each skein contains 8 m (8.7 yd) of 100% cotton with six separable strands so you can tailor coverage and detail to the stitch and fabric count. This listing keeps the colour naming conservative at Yellow because a more specific DMC shade number or official colour name was not clearly supported for this UPC during review.
