DMC Mouliné Etoile Cotton Thread is designed for embroidery enthusiasts and cross-stitchers who want to add a subtle, sophisticated shimmer to their textile art. This six-strand embroidery floss combines the classic feel of Egyptian cotton with metallic fibers to produce a unique twinkle effect that elevates standard designs. While the thread is highly versatile and durable, users should note that the metallic content makes it slightly stiffer to work with than traditional 100% cotton floss, requiring a bit more tension management during intricate stitching.

Yes, it blends perfectly with standard DMC six-strand cotton floss, making it ideal for mixed-media embroidery effects.
Yes, it is colorfast and washable up to 40 degrees Celsius.
Like standard DMC embroidery floss, this is a six-strand thread that can be easily separated.
It contains metallic polyamide fibers, which provide the shimmer without the tarnishing often associated with real metal threads.
The thread uses highly resistant dyes and stable materials designed to maintain their sparkle and color vibrancy.
Each individual skein provides 8 metres of thread.
Use shorter lengths of thread (under 40cm) and ensure you are pulling strands out individually before threading the needle.
Trim the end of the thread cleanly with sharp scissors, or use a needle threader to assist with the metallic-infused fiber.
Maintain consistent, light tension while pulling the thread through the fabric to avoid excessive friction.
For optimal results, pair this thread with a standard size 24 or 26 embroidery needle. When starting, gently pull one strand at a time to ensure even distribution and prevent bunching. The thread is fully machine washable at temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius; avoid using harsh bleach, which may degrade the metallic fibers over time. To keep the thread in peak condition, store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the dyes and the luster of the metallic components.
