DMC Coton Retors Mat Soft Cotton

Made up of 5 non-separable strands twisted several times, this matt cotton thread does
not pill. It is particularly suitable for stitching
on canvass, in long-stitch or half-stitch, and
can also be used to embroider thick rustic
fabrics. Supple and soft, it is highly resistant
to light and washing, and comes in 285 colors.
It is a favorite with children, who use it to make
all kinds of small accessories, such as friendship bracelets, pompons, ternari (Japanese balls), cords and small objects
in macrame.

by flame to remove fluff.
5 inseparable cotton strands.

hook or needle: Monofil canvas = blunt needle n° 20;

useful hints: For cushion covers which undergo more wear
and tear, it is better to use petit-point. This stitch creates
a firm weave at the back of the canvas which in turn helps
to strengthen the end product. Ideally stretch your canvas
on a frame while working to keep its shape and ensure
even stitching
