DMC Mouliné Spécial 117 is a divisible cotton embroidery floss for cross-stitch, needlepoint, and other hand embroidery. This 8 m (8.7 yd) skein is dyed to DMC colour 3843, making it easy to match charts, kits, and existing thread collections for counted work and freehand motifs. Double mercerizing adds a smooth sheen and consistent glide, and colourfast dyes allow gentle washing without fear of fading or bleeding.
