Perle cotton is a spun thread, while embroidery floss is made up of six strands that can be separated. Perle cotton has a twisted, glossy finish, while floss is generally matte.
Yes, it is excellent for cross-stitch. The size 12 thread creates a bolder, more textured appearance.
Use a needle size that is appropriate for size 12 thread. A tapestry or embroidery needle size 22-24 usually works well.
Yes, DMC Cotton Perle is colorfast, but it is still recommended to wash finished projects in cool water to preserve the color.
It is best for projects where a raised, textured effect is desired, such as outlining, embellishments, monograms, and needlepoint.
Yes, you can iron projects. Use a low heat setting, and it's best to iron on the back of the project or use a pressing cloth.

Use a needle threader, or carefully wet the end of the thread to stiffen it slightly.
