Description and Details
DMC Pearl Cotton No. 5 is a go-to thread when you want definition, texture and a neat finish. It is a non-divisible embroidery cotton, meaning you stitch with it as a single twisted thread rather than separating strands. That makes it especially good for crisp outlines, decorative stitches, surface embroidery, and any project where you want a slightly raised, tactile result.
This thread is versatile across techniques. It suits cross stitch, embroidery, jewellery making, weaving, needlepoint, hardanger, punch needle, pulled thread work, smocking and appliqué, giving you one reliable option for a wide range of creative work. Whether you are building textured details, edging a motif, or adding structured stitches to visible mending, Pearl Cotton No. 5 is designed to hold its shape beautifully.
Each skein contains 15 metres of thread. Colour choices are listed as shown in the second photo, running left to right, making it easy for customers to select the shade they need. Practical care is also a strong selling point. DMC Pearl Cotton is described as 100% colourfast and can be washed at temperatures up to 95°C without fading, which is useful for items that will be handled or cleaned regularly.
