DMC Mouliné Spécial 117 is a premium, divisible 6-strand cotton embroidery floss for cross-stitch, needlepoint, and surface embroidery on Aida, linen, or canvas. Each 8 m (8.7 yd) pull-skein is double mercerized for a bright sheen and smooth stitch definition in shade 156. The dye is colourfast and fade resistant for lasting projects, and the pull-skein format stores neatly on bobbins. Separate strands for fine detail or combine them for fuller coverage.
