MOULINE COLORIS 1ECH 8M

A subtle, tender and nuanced mauve, which evokes wild heather in flower. This soft shade lends itself to embroiderers looking for delicacy: cross stitches on linen, small pointillist surfaces, or floral details on light fabrics. It combines elegantly with pearl grays, warm creams and powder pinks to create refined patterns.

DMC Mouliné Coloris embroidery thread is a 100% cotton thread which combines four complementary shades in the same skein, offering an automatic color transition throughout the work without the need to change thread. Made up of 6 separable strands, it allows you to freely adjust the thickness of the stitch according to the desired effect, from fine detail to more covering filling. Its dyes are selected for good resistance to light and washing, an asset for works intended to be preserved or exhibited over time. Presented in 8 m skeins, this yarn is made in France.

• Separate the strands one by one for a fine and precise rendering on the details
• Use all 6 strands together for a dense, covering fill
• Embroider cross by cross rather than in a line to preserve the regularity of color variations
• Combine several Bruyere colors from the range to create gradients on the same pattern
• Test the color sequence on a scrap of canvas before starting the final work

This Bruyere thread goes easily with an Aida canvas or a classic canvas, an embroidery needle with a rounded tip and an embroidery drum to keep the support taut while working on the stitches.
