DMC purple cotton 6-strand floss is an embroidery thread for cross-stitch, surface embroidery, needlepoint accents, friendship bracelets and small craft details. Each skein is identified here as 8 m (8.7 yd) of cotton floss in the purple colour family. The six-strand format supports bold lines when used whole or finer effects when the strands are separated. Use it to add colour, lettering, borders and small motifs to fabric, canvas or craft projects.
