Persian wool
Persian wool: how it is made up, how heavy it stitches, and what it suits.
- Fibre
- wool
- StrandsDivisible strands per length; 1 means the thread is used as it comes
- 3
- WeightHow thick a single working thread stitches; six-strand cotton varies with the strands used
- medium

- 8 m skein
- Can be divided
- true
- Used for
- Needlepoint at any mesh, crewel work when separated to one or two strands.
- Notes
- Three loosely twisted two-ply strands that separate; one strand is close to crewel wool and all three are close to tapestry wool, so one thread covers most wool jobs.
- Example coloursA few colours from the DMC card that this thread is sold in; the full card is in the cross-stitch thread colours database
