DMC Pearl #12 Blanc

Looking for the perfect material to create refined and delicate details? Premium DMC Pearl Cotton (Perlé) in size #12 is an absolute favorite among crafters worldwide. Thanks to its unique silky luster and tightly twisted texture, it adds incredible volume, elegance, and a professional look to finished works.

Why crafters choose DMC Pearl Cotton:

• Exclusive luster: The thread undergoes a double mercerization process, which provides it with a luxurious, lasting pearlescent glow that does not fade over time.
• Perfect structure: It is an indivisible, twisted thread. It does not fray while working, does not tangle, does not knot, and glides smoothly through the fabric fibers.
• Absolute durability: Made of 100% high-quality long-staple cotton. DMC threads are renowned for their highly resistant dyes — they do not fade in the sun and do not bleed even with frequent washing.
• Versatile use: Size #12 (the finest in the range) is indispensable for miniature and filigree projects.

Perfectly suited for:

• Hardanger embroidery — for creating delicate openwork elements, woven bars, and picots.
• Tatting and delicate crocheting.
• Classic satin stitch and dimensional embroidery (French knots, stem stitch).
• Backstitching in cross-stitch to create sharp, slightly voluminous outlines.
• Blackwork and Redwork.

💡 Tip from Crazy Cross Stitch: Size #12 is the finest and most delicate in the DMC Pearl thread family. It is simply made for working on evenweave and small-count linen fabrics (28, 32 ct and finer). For comfortable stitching with this thread, we recommend using fine embroidery needles (with a sharp tip) size 7-9 or matching fine tapestry needles to avoid distorting the fabric base.
