Attention all cross-stitch and embroidery lovers! You already know DMC is the gold standard for embroidery floss, and this very dark navy blue shade is absolutely gorgeous. This isn't just regular thread - it's made from 100% long-staple cotton that's double mercerized, which gives it this beautiful sheen and incredible strength. The colors are seriously fade-resistant too, so your beautiful projects will stay vibrant even after washing or if they're displayed in sunlight. Each skein has 8.7 yards of thread separated into 6 easily divisible strands, which is perfect because you can use anywhere from 1 to 6 strands depending on the look you're going for and the fabric you're working with. I've used this particular navy blue color in so many projects - it's rich and deep without being black, so it adds dimension to your work. The thread glides smoothly through fabric without tangling or fraying, which makes the stitching process so much more enjoyable. Whether you're working on detailed cross-stitch patterns, embroidery designs, or any other needlework project, this floss delivers consistent, professional results every time. I always keep several skeins of this color on hand because I use it so often. It's the same quality you find in craft stores but so convenient to have delivered. If you're serious about your needlework, you can't go wrong with DMC - it's just the best out there!
