DMC Mouliné Spécial is the universal benchmark and the undeniable standard of excellence for cross-stitch, traditional embroidery, and textile art. Made entirely from 100% long-staple cotton (selected from the finest in the world) and subjected to a refined double mercerization process, this thread stands out for its brilliant, velvety, and silky appearance, ensuring unmatched smoothness through any type of canvas or fabric. Its unique 6-strand divisible structure offers total creative versatility: it allows you to adjust the thickness of the lines with extreme precision, creating everything from the finest details and defined outlines to full and richly textured areas. Thanks to the strength and purity of its pigments, the colors remain vivid, luminous, and unchanged over time, making it the top choice for classic embroidery as well as contemporary projects meant to last for generations. Composition: 100% Long-Staple Cotton (Double Mercerization). Format / Length: 8-meter skein. Structure: 6-Strand Divisible Thread. Thickness / Type: Divisible Embroidery Thread (Category 0 / Thread). Recommended Needles: Embroidery / Cross-Stitch Needles (Size 22–26 depending on strands used and fabric). Certification: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 (Hypoallergenic, free from toxic substances, and safe for contact with newborns and children's skin). Mouliné Spécial adapts to any embroidery technique by simply adjusting the number of strands pulled from the skein: Cross-Stitch on 14 ct Aida: ~2 strands. Cross-Stitch on 11 ct Aida or Linen: ~3 strands. Backstitch / Fine Details: ~1 strand. Classic Embroidery / Painting Stitch (precise shading): ~1–2 strands. Stem Stitch / Chain Stitch / Full Areas: ~3–6 strands. Usage Tip: To separate strands without tangling the skein, pull one strand at a time upwards while gently holding the others. Then regroup the necessary number of strands before threading the needle. Color Fidelity: Ideal for complex patterns and cross-stitch pictures that require calibrated shading; the DMC numbering is the standard color code used in patterns worldwide. Washing and Care: Items embroidered with DMC Mouliné Spécial can be washed at high temperatures (up to 60°C) with mild detergents. It is recommended to rinse thoroughly in cold water and wrap the embroidery in a clean towel to remove excess water. Always iron the embroidery on the reverse side, placing it on a soft cloth or towel to avoid flattening the stitches and preserve the three-dimensional texture of the work.
