The best embroidery thread in the world

Mouliné DMC in over 500 always available colors

Mouliné DMC, also known as DMC Stranded Cotton, is a high-quality cotton thread widely appreciated for its versatility and beauty in the world of embroidery art. Produced by DMC (Dollfus-Mieg et Compagnie), a French company founded in 1746, Mouliné DMC has a long history of excellence in the production of threads and accessories for embroidery.

Mouliné DMC is composed of six strands of long-staple cotton, easily divisible, which allow embroidery enthusiasts to create detailed designs and color gradations with great ease. The high-quality cotton used for the production of Mouliné DMC comes from the best cotton plantations in the world, mainly in Egypt, where the climatic conditions and careful cultivation give rise to long and resistant fibers.

One of the distinctive features of Mouliné DMC is its double mercerization, a chemical process that makes the thread more resistant, shiny, and silky. Mercerization is carried out twice: the first time on the single thread and the second time after the threads have been assembled. This process gives Mouliné DMC a unique brilliance and a softness to the touch that distinguishes it from ordinary cotton threads.

What is mercerization?

Mercerization gives the fiber a particularly bright appearance, a permanent luster, similar to that of silk, a higher specific weight, greater resistance to traction, greater elasticity, and finally a greater affinity for almost all natural or synthetic colorants. But above all, mercerization determines, with the action of alkalis, the shortening of the fiber. Precisely through this shortening and the consequent mechanical stretching operation to give the fiber its original length, the apparent profound structural modifications of the fiber take place. The process tends to "enrich" the already valuable fiber with additional characteristics that make Mouliné DMC distributed by Tessiland® a highly appreciated product.

Mouliné DMC is available in a wide range of colors, including over 500 shades, including solid, variegated, and shaded hues. This vast selection allows embroidery enthusiasts to find the perfect color for every project and express their creativity without limits.

Although Mouliné DMC is mainly used for cross-stitch embroidery, thanks to its quality and versatility, it can also be used in other embroidery techniques such as running stitch, stem stitch, and satin stitch. In addition, it can be used to make sewing projects, such as appliqué, quilts, and home decorations.

In summary, Mouliné DMC is an exceptionally high-quality cotton thread, ideal for embroidery and creativity enthusiasts. Its brilliance, strength, and wide range of colors make it an essential element in choosing materials for your artistic projects. With Mouliné DMC, you can bring your dreams to life and create unique and personalized works of art.
