Laine Saint-Pierre was originally a darning wool with four strands.  Apart from its original purpose, it is highly recommended for embroidery.  Pleasant to use, it gives a splendid matte result.

Made from half wool, half polyamide fiber, Laine Saint-Pierre is very solid and the colors remain fast.  Length on card:  ten meters, in four strands.  Surface embroidery uses one strand and cross stitch two strands.
