🧶 DMC 993B3-B5200 Petra Crochet Cotton Thread: Size 3, Versatile and High-Quality! Review

I don't crochet with this yarn, I tie my fingers with it on a CSM circular knitting machine. The sutures are then sewn together and this thread is removed. This thread will not split and is heavy enough to hold its own space. Because it doesn't tear, it can be pulled out after sewing and reused. I am very happy with the quality of the threads.

For the past few months I've been trying to pick up a thread that J&P Coats no longer makes, "Lustre Sheen". Having ordered several different types and sizes of threads, this product is as close to it as possible. However, remember that size 3 only comes in a smaller ball of thread, so make sure you buy enough for your projects. I love how this thread works and it's so SOFT. easy to use.

DMC has an excellent reputation for quality yarn and I was excited to try Petra. However, this was a disappointment; Aunt Lydia's much cheaper fabric slides much better on the needle and is much less prone to separating layers. However, I gave it 3 stars for the average rating because it has a lot more colors available than Aunt Lydia's, so I would still buy it again. But if you want white or another base color, which is available in both brands, save your money.
