DMC Cebelia crochet thread size 10, 50 g, 100 % cotton

DMC Cebelia size 10 – glossy cotton crochet thread for fine work

DMC Cebelia size 10 is a 3-ply crochet thread made of 100 % cotton, for fine crochet such as doilies, lace and edgings. The thread is combed, gassed and double mercerised. According to DMC, double mercerising gives it sheen and strength, and the thread is colourfast and fade-resistant. Your crochet pieces keep their colour and look even.

One ball weighs 50 g and has a length of approx. 260 m. This lets you estimate roughly at the planning stage how many balls you need for a doily or a wider edging. Choose your colour from the options.

What size 10 is used for

With Cebelia, the higher the number, the finer the thread and the more metres you get per 50 g ball. Size 10 is the thickest of the three sizes in this range and suits crochet pieces where the pattern should stand out clearly. These include doilies, lace, edgings and decorative accessories. The smooth, three-ply twisted thread gives an even texture in which treble and lace patterns are clearly visible.

Tips for working

Allow plenty of yarn and buy all the balls for a project at the same time if possible, so that the shade stays consistent. For doilies and lace, a small tension swatch is worthwhile: it shows you how dense or loose the thread looks with your hook before you start the whole piece.
