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

£3.00

Smooth, silky and beautifully lustrous, Anchor Pearl Cotton Size 8 is a non-divisible perlé thread ideal for Dorset buttons, fine embroidery, tatting and detailed textile work.

Anchor Pearl Cotton Size 8 is a beautifully mercerised, non-divisible perlé thread with a soft sheen and smooth, silky feel. With 45+ solid shades available, this versatile thread is perfect for a wide range of textile crafts and detailed decorative work.

This size is especially suited for smaller Dorset buttons, where its neat definition and smooth twist create crisp, even wraps. It also works wonderfully for tatting, fine hand embroidery, hardanger, embellishment, lace accents, jewellery, and small-scale weaving.

For embroiderers, Size 8 Pearl Cotton is roughly equivalent to 3 strands of embroidery floss, but because it is non-divisible, it is far easier to work with: no separating strands, no tangles, simply unwind and stitch straight from the ball.

If you’re looking for a specific shade not currently in stock, feel free to get in touch — I can order it for you at no extra cost.

Important update on shades and stock transition

Anchor Pearl Cotton is currently undergoing a packaging and production transition following the brand’s move under DMC. As existing Anchor stock is gradually replaced, some shades may vary slightly from older dye lots, particularly in depth and undertone. The newer production is also wound differently (on DMC-style cardboard spools rather than the original Anchor ball format) and is now made in France instead of Hungary.

I update product photos whenever I receive full new batches, but wholesalers may supply mixed stock during this period. For this reason, photos may not always match the exact spool format you receive until older stock is fully phased out.
