Product Information

Full details

The DMC Coton A Broder (Size 16) is designed for experienced needleworkers and embroidery enthusiasts who require precision, strength, and a high-quality finish for intricate projects. Its primary benefit is a superior, non-divisible four-strand structure that prevents tangling while offering a luxurious, silky sheen that elevates fine detailed work; however, users should note that this is a non-divisible thread, meaning it cannot be split for thinner applications like standard embroidery floss.

FAQs

Can I split the strands of DMC Coton A Broder?

No, this thread is non-divisible and consists of four strands that are designed to be used as a single unit.

What is the primary difference between this and standard embroidery floss?

Standard embroidery floss is divisible, whereas Coton A Broder is designed for a consistent, thicker, and more uniform stitch appearance.

Is this thread colorfast?

Yes, it is treated for excellent colorfastness to ensure your designs remain vibrant over time.

What size is this specific thread?

This is size 16, which is specifically suited for fine and detailed embroidery work.

How long is the thread in this skein?

Each skein contains 20 meters of thread.

Troubleshooting

Thread twisting during long stitches

Let the needle hang freely every few stitches to allow the thread to untwist itself naturally.

Stitches pulling through fine fabric

Ensure you are using a needle size compatible with your fabric weave and that your tension is consistent.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resists kinking and tangling during use
  • High-quality sheen enhances the visual appeal of projects
  • Extremely durable due to long-fibre cotton construction
  • Excellent colorfastness prevents bleeding or fading

Cons

  • Non-divisible strands limit versatility for varying stitch thickness
  • Specific 20m length may require multiple skeins for large-scale designs
  • Not intended for projects where standard divisible floss is required

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the thread, gently remove the paper band and pull the desired length from the center or outer loop. Given the size 16 gauge, it is recommended to pair this thread with appropriate embroidery needles, such as sizes 9 or 10, to ensure the thread passes through the fabric eye without damage. When storing, keep the thread away from direct, harsh sunlight to maintain its color brilliance. If the thread becomes slightly dusty after long-term storage, it can be gently wiped with a clean, dry cloth; do not submerge in harsh detergents, as the high-quality mercerised finish performs best when handled with care.
