DMC Mouliné Étoile is a six-strand embroidery floss with a subtle twinkle for cross-stitch, embroidery, and decorative stitching. This listing includes one 8 m (about 8 3/4 yd) skein in shade C738 Very Light Tan, and the strands separate so you can adjust thickness or combine with DMC stranded cotton. The cotton-based thread with metallic fiber stitches smoothly to add gentle sparkle without overpowering your design.
