Fincrochet 60 - 50 Grams Ball (Ne/PLY 36/3) ART01234.60

3 Ply Threads perfect for embroidery, lace and stitch thanks to its great twist, resistance and color durability. 100% extra-long staple Egyptian Cotton, solid dyed in both White and Ecru. Our Ecru is very different from basic ecru - other less expensive "natural" ecru crochet cotton is un-dyed and may lose its color through washing and over time. Fincrochet Ecru is bleachfast, solid dyed color C3000 which guarantees its exact color for a lifetime. Fincrochet is clearly the best choice for heirloom quality crochet.

What it is: Fincrochet No 60 (ART01234.60) is a 3-ply mercerized crochet cotton spun from 100% extra-long staple Egyptian cotton, supplied as a 50g ball with a Ne/PLY of 36/3. It is made by Presencia Hilaturas in Valencia, Spain, in continuous production since 1930. No 60 is a very fine weight for delicate, high-detail lace. The strong, even twist resists splitting, and the colour is solid-dyed and bleachfast, so White stays white and the signature Ecru (solid-dyed shade C3000) holds its exact tone for a lifetime rather than fading like cheaper undyed naturals.

How it is used and use cases: No 60 is ideal for very fine crochet lace and tatting, intricate doilies and medallions, narrow lace edgings and insertions, fine filet crochet, and delicate heirloom pieces. Its very fine gauge gives crisp definition to elaborate stitch patterns and lets the most detailed designs read clearly.

Who uses it: It is chosen by crochet and lace shops and haberdashers; by heirloom and home-textile makers producing doilies, runners and edgings; by guilds, teachers and workshops that need a reliable, splitting-resistant thread for classes; by designers and kit makers who require consistent dye-lots and a colour that will not fade; and by craft hobbyists who want a dependable, hard-wearing crochet cotton.

Why choose it: Fincrochet is heirloom-quality crochet cotton, spun and mercerized in Presencia's own Valencia facility in smaller controlled batches. The 100% extra-long staple Egyptian cotton and strong 3-ply twist give resistance and a clean, lustrous stitch, while the solid, bleachfast dyeing means colours stay true wash after wash and year after year. Unlike cheaper undyed naturals, the Ecru is solid-dyed C3000 and guaranteed for a lifetime, with lot-to-lot consistency since 1930, so it is the choice for makers who want a finished piece that outlives the pattern.
