DMC Colour Variations Floss creates smooth, tonal colour shifts along the strand, giving your stitching depth and movement without constant thread changes. This skein is Colour Variations 4170 (Whispering Wind) in DMC Art. 417, suited to cross-stitch, embroidery, needlepoint, and accents on handmade gifts. Separate strands to adjust coverage, and let the overdyed transitions add subtle shading to borders, motifs, and lettering.
