417F MOULINE VARIATION 1ECH 8M LF

The mauve shades of DMC Mouliné Variation 417F thread create subtle depth on each stitch. This Orchid 4255 color plays on two complementary shades: a light mauve and a more intense mauve which respond to each other in the stitches, giving relief to your patterns without visual overload.

Made in France, this 100% cotton embroidery thread has six separable strands for great flexibility of execution. The 8 meter skein comfortably covers a medium-sized pattern or allows you to finalize a project already started. The DMC Variation process maintains dyeing regularity despite the bitonality, ensuring visual continuity even on solid areas.

• Separate two or three strands for contours and fine details, so that the gradient remains readable.
• Work with needles of 40 cm maximum to prevent the cotton from pulling and losing its shine.
• The light mauve of this yarn combines remarkably well with blue grays and off-whites to create soft transitions.
• Use this thread in cross stitch on cheesecloth or in brooch on fine canvas to enhance the shading effect.
• Rinse in cold water after temporary stain removal: 100% cotton remains very resistant to washing.

Combine this Mouliné Variation with plain yarns in pearl grays or ivory whites to create a delicate monochrome. On an ecru or beige canvas, the contrast between Orchid 4255 and these neutrals brings out all the subtlety of the gradient.
