Anchor Pearl Cotton Size 8 – Multicolour – 10 g / 85 m – Mercerised Perlé Thread

Price range: £2.90 through £3.40

Beautifully silky, softly lustrous and smoothly variegated, Anchor Pearl Cotton Size 8 Multicolour adds instant depth and movement to your embroidery, Dorset buttons and fine textile work.

Anchor Pearl Cotton Size 8 Multicolour offers a stunning play of colour, with each ball blending several harmonious shades that shift every few inches for a beautifully subtle variegated effect. Whether you want gentle tonal changes or more vibrant contrasts, these threads bring a lively, textured finish to your stitching.

This multicolour range is especially lovely for Dorset buttons, where the natural transitions create striking rings, spokes and wheels. It is equally suitable for tatting, fine embroidery, hardanger, embellishment, jewellery making, and other decorative handwork.

For embroiderers, Size 8 Pearl Cotton works roughly like 3 strands of embroidery floss, but because it is non-divisible, you can stitch straight from the ball with no tangles, no separating strands and no loss of shine.

If you are looking for a colourway not currently listed, feel free to get in touch — special shades can be ordered with no extra fee.

Important update on stock transition

Following Anchor’s transition under DMC, some multicolour shades are now being produced with new dye lots and a slightly different winding style. Newer balls may be supplied on cardboard spools (DMC-style) and are made in France instead of Hungary.
This may result in minor shade differences compared with older Anchor production.

I update photos whenever I receive a full batch of new-style stock, but wholesalers sometimes send mixed batches during this transition. Until older stock has fully sold through, the photographed ball style may not always match exactly what you receive.
