  • twisted from 2 threads
  • not divisible
  • made from long-fiber cotton
  • mercerized
  • Turned sharply
    • Both enhance the shine
  • keep turning slightly clockwise while Stitching
    • preserves the pearly structure
    • Gloss always remains the same

Size varies between manufacturers (e.g. Presencia, DMC, Coats). Size 16 is currently only available from Presencia. However, it is hardly thinner than Pearl Cotton 12 from DMC, for example. Pearl Cotton 3 from Presencia is slightly thicker than the other suppliers.
