This DMC cordonnet cotton is made of fine, longstaple and colorfast mercerized 100-percent combed cotton. Composed of six strands. The threads are exceptionally strong and have a beautifully glossy finish. Machine washable. After washing, gently wring it out and rinse it as many times as necessary to get the soap out of it. Use almost cold water to rinse the piece. Wrap the piece in a towel to remove excess water, then dry flat. Great for tatting, openwork, hardanger and drawn thread work. Also perfect for delicate and intricate lace work and for creating exquisite borders on handkerchiefs, tablemats, collars, gloves and other clothing accessories. Available in white colour.
