A mouliné thread with changing shades

This DMC Mouliné Variation embroidery thread is made of 100% cotton , a guarantee of softness and strength for your works. Each 8 m skein brings together 6 separable strands , which allows you to adjust the thickness of the thread according to the fineness or coverage desired on your support. Its particularity lies in its subtle change of color within the same color family , obtained in just a few stitches: a single thread is thus enough to bring relief and movement to an embroidery, without having to change the skein. The thread also benefits from double mercerization , which gives it a nice shine, and dyes that are resistant to light and washing for durable works.

• Separate the strands for a delicate finish in a single thread, or group them together to quickly cover larger surfaces
• Work in cross stitch to reveal variations in shades point after point
• Use in stem stitch or backstitch to emphasize a contour with a natural gradient effect
• Reserve this thread for continuous lines, monograms or small areas where the play of colors will be clearly visible
• Combine dark orange with a solid color from the same family to reinforce the harmony of an embroidery

This mouliné thread goes naturally with an Aida canvas or a linen canvas, a fine embroidery needle, an embroidery hoop to keep the support taut, as well as with other skeins of DMC plain colors to complete a shade or create contrasts in the same project.
