MOULINE COLORIS 1ECH 8M

This yarn captures the spirit of winter tales with a deep and mysterious pine green hue. Its dark shades are perfectly suited to embroidered forest motifs, pointillist decorations evoking winter nights, and timeless works. Combine it with metallic gold threads for a warm contrast, or with off-whites to accentuate its melancholic character.

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 Conte de noel 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 Conte de noel 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.
