Maasechs Pearl Cotton Thread Set Size 8 — 30-Pack Rainbow 10g Balls, Mercerised Silky Finish

Maasechs 30-piece size 8 pearl cotton thread set delivers 10 g, mercerised, rainbow-coloured balls ideal for crochet, embroidery, and friendship bracelets.

This carefully curated kit brings together thirty size 8 pearl cotton balls, each weighing 10 grams (about 95 yards) and finished with a silky, pearlized sheen. Made from long-staple cotton and double mercerised for strength and luster, these threads resist fuzzing and kinking while washing well. The vivid rainbow assortment spans six colour families—pink, orange, green, purple, blue, and white—covering light to deep shades so you can blend, gradient, or match tones across projects with confidence.

How much thread comes in each ball and what are the dimensions?

Each ball contains approximately 10 grams of yarn, translating to roughly 95 yards of size 8 pearl cotton—compact but generous for fine work. The physical size of each ball is small and easy to store, making them practical for both travel and craft drawers.

• Quantity: 30 balls per set
• Weight per ball: 10 grams (approx. 95 yards)
• Ball dimensions: 1.97 x 1.97 x 1.57 inches (5 x 5 x 4 cm)

What makes this pearl cotton suitable for detailed handwork?

The thread is made from long-staple cotton and double mercerised, giving it a sleek, slightly glossy surface that passes smoothly through fabric and needle eyes. That finish reduces snagging and fraying and helps stitched surfaces retain crisp definition and colour intensity.

• Material: pure long-staple cotton for durability
• Finish: double mercerised for sheen and fewer fibres shedding
• Hand feel: soft and silky for comfortable stitching
• Behavior: resists kinking, lies flat in detailed stitches

Which crafts benefit most from this 30-colour rainbow selection?

The colour range and thread weight suit many fine-finish crafts where precise colour control matters. From delicate crochet doilies and amigurumi accents to cross stitch, needlepoint, and handmade bracelets, this set supports layering, blending, and colour transitions.

• Crochet: ideal for doilies, edgings, and small motifs
• Embroidery & cross stitch: smooth lines and colour variety
• Friendship bracelets: consistent thickness for neat patterns
• Mixed-media: pairs well with fabrics and other yarns

How should I care for finished items made with this thread?

Garments and decor made with Maasechs pearl cotton are easy to maintain when treated gently. The construction tolerates machine washing and tumble drying on low, but avoiding bleach and ironing will keep colours and fibres intact longer.

• Washing: machine wash on gentle or hand wash recommended
• Drying: tumble dry low or flat dry to preserve shape
• Do not bleach: avoids colour loss and fibre damage
• Do not iron: iron-free care helps maintain sheen and structure
