DMC étoile écru

The Mouliné Étoile DMC is an embroidery thread that combines the softness of cotton with a delicate shimmering effect. Sprinkled with fine touches of Lurex, it brings light and shine to embroideries while maintaining an elegant and subtle finish, less pronounced than that of an entirely metallic thread.

Presented in 8-meter skeins, the Mouliné Étoile is made up of 6 separable strands. It is thus possible to adapt the number of strands to the fabric, the stitch used, and the desired effect.

Composition and characteristics

The Mouliné Étoile is composed of 73% long-fiber cotton and 27% Lurex/metalized polyamide.

Its structure combines the flexibility of cotton with fine shiny fibers that capture light with every movement. The result is a delicate sparkle that highlights the details of a design without giving an excessively metallic appearance.

Characteristics:

• Skein of 8 meters
• 6 separable strands
• 73% cotton – 27% Lurex/metalized polyamide
• Non-mercerized thread
• Shimmering and luminous effect
• Made in France in Mulhouse
• Wide range of colors coordinated with the famous DMC shades

Uses

The Mouliné Étoile is particularly suitable for traditional embroidery and cross-stitch. It can be used alone to create a luminous design or simply in small touches to highlight certain elements of an embroidery.

It is particularly interesting for embroidering:

• stars and night skies,
• snow and winter landscapes,
• Christmas decorations and motifs,
• flowers and foliage,
• ornaments and precious details,
• letters and monograms,
• embroidered jewelry and accessories,
• small details that one wishes to illuminate and give relief.

Thanks to the 6 separable strands, you can also play with the intensity of color and shine by adjusting the number of strands used.

A subtle shine in your embroideries

Unlike very shiny metallic threads, the Mouliné Étoile retains the soft appearance of a mouliné thread while adding small sparkling reflections. It is therefore ideal when you want to brighten up an embroidery without the metallic effect dominating the design.

A lovely way to add a touch of light, festivity, or preciousness to your embroidered creations.
