BRODER SPECIAL 1 ECH 32M

A warm bistre with earthy nuances, bistre linen evokes the natural tones of raw linen. This discreet color is suitable for embroidery on beige or ecru canvas, chain stitches and delicate patterns. It combines elegantly with light grays and creamy beiges for refined compositions.

The Broder Spécial DMC thread is made of 100% long-staple cotton , combed and mercerized twice, which gives it a beautiful luster and great softness to the touch. Unlike the mouliné, its 4 strands are not divisible : the thread is therefore used whole, which simplifies the preparation of the needle and guarantees a regular thickness from the first to the last stitch. Its colorfast dye ensures good resistance to repeated washing and light, an asset for household linen intended to be washed often. The range exists in several sizes, from No. 16 to No. 30, to adapt to more or less fine work.

• Embroider monograms and initials on household linens
• Make neat openings, festoons, stem stitches or thrown stitches
• Decorate towels, pillowcases, sheets or baby clothes
• Work with short needles, around 40 cm, to preserve the luster of the thread
• Combine several shades close to Bistre Linen to create a gradient on the same pattern

This thread goes naturally with linen or cotton canvases intended for household linens, fine embroidery needles and embroidery hoops. To complete a project, it can also be combined with DMC pearl cotton to create relief, or consulted via a DMC color chart in order to harmonize Lin bistre with other shades in the collection.
