MOULINE COLORIS 1ECH 8M

London sports a deep mauve shade, between gray and purple, with reflections of a London evening. This timeless and elegant shade is suitable for fine embroidery, monograms and decorative works that require sobriety. Combine it with warm beiges for a softened contrast, or with ivory white for a more graphic and modern effect.

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