DMC Mouliné Étoile is a softly sparkling stranded thread that adds a subtle twinkle to cross stitch and surface embroidery. This Black skein is 8 m (8.7 yd) long and separates into six strands, letting you adjust coverage for fine details, shading, or fuller fills. Use it alone for gentle shimmer or combine it with matte cotton floss to highlight accents without shifting the overall design too much.
