MOULINE SPECIAL ETOILE 1 ECH 8M

A delicious shade that brings together the deep reds of cherry, blackcurrant and strawberry. This rich shade is suitable for embroiderers who love natural, intense colors. It enhances floral patterns, embroidered hearts and fruit-inspired creations. Pair it with neutral beiges for a soft contrast, or combine it with powder pinks for a harmonious ensemble.

An embroidery thread that captures the light

DMC's Mouliné Étoile combines 73% cotton with 27% lurex polyamide to offer a delicate shimmering effect that illuminates each stitch without weighing down the texture of the thread. Made up of 6 separable strands , it allows you to freely adjust the thickness of the embroidery according to the desired effect, from the finest detail to generous filling. Its 8 m skein retains the same size as the Mouliné Spécial , which makes it easier to mix yarns within the same work. The Red Fruits color belongs to a palette of 35 shades designed to dialogue with the classic range, between radiance and dullness.

• Separate the strands one by one before grouping them to the desired number, for a very even finish.
• Reserve this thread for areas to be highlighted: borders, snow spots, festive patterns or decorative elements.
• Work with short needles to preserve the shine of the lurex and limit friction.
• Combine it with Mouliné Special of the same number to obtain a subtle ombré effect on the same pattern.
• Choose a needle with a wide eye, suitable for metallic threads, for smoother passage through the canvas.

This sparkling thread goes naturally with Aida or linen canvases used in cross stitch, as well as with skeins of Mouliné Spécial or Coton Perlé DMC to create works combining matte and shiny materials. It also finds its place alongside embroidery beads or fine ribbons for decorative or creative haberdashery creations.
