Threads

Comprised of six easily seperated strands, this DMC thread allows you to modify the effects of your stitched project, depending on the number of strands used. It is made from the best long-staple cotton and is mercerized twice to give it exceptional sheen. The highly resistant dyes are carefully selected to ensure that the thread does not fade as a result of washing or exposure to light.

DMC Satin Thread is a highly lustrous rayon floss which results in the most beautiful, silk-like finish. Made up of six strands of divisible thread, it can be used on its own or in combination with DMC Stranded Cotton. With the exception of S504, the numeric part of the Satin Thread reference is the same as the Stranded Cotton numbers, making matching really easy (for S504, use Stranded Cotton C502).

Cross Stitch Workshop sells Satin thread in 8 metre skeins.
