DMC Mouliné Spécial 117 is a stranded cotton embroidery floss for cross-stitch and surface embroidery on Aida cloth, linen, and other needlework fabrics. Each skein provides 8 m (8.7 yd) of shade 890 thread for charted motifs, monograms, and decorative stitches across light- to medium-weight textiles. The double‑mercerized long‑staple cotton glides smoothly and leaves a clean, softly lustrous finish for crisp, even-looking stitches.
