DMC Mouliné Spécial 117 is a stranded cotton embroidery thread designed for cross-stitch, hand embroidery, and needlepoint work. Each pull skein contains 8 m (8.7 yd) of colour 989 floss made from double-mercerized, long-staple cotton with six size-25 strands you can separate to vary stitch coverage. Made in France with fade-resistant dyes, it helps you keep projects consistent when you need to add matching stitches later.
