🧵 The yarn
The DMC Mouliné Spécial Violet embroidery thread is the worldwide benchmark for cross stitch and traditional embroidery. Made from 100% double mercerized cotton, this thread stands out for its brilliant shine and silky texture that enhances every stitch. DMC produces over a million skeins a day, a testament to the quality recognized by professional and hobbyist embroiderers worldwide.
Each skein contains 8 meters of thread composed of 6 easily separable strands, allowing you to adapt the thickness to the type of embroidery. For standard cross stitch on Aida fabric, 2-3 strands are used, while for finer details or shading effects you can work with a single strand. The violet shade (REF. 117MC) is perfect for floral motifs such as lavender, iris and wisteria.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The long-staple cotton used by DMC comes from the best plantations in the world. This superior quality fiber guarantees tensile strength, preventing the thread from breaking during work even under high tension. The length of the fibers also reduces pilling, keeping the work clean and precise.
Double mercerization is the process that gives Mouliné Spécial its characteristic silky shine. This chemical-physical treatment swells the fibers, making them smoother and more reflective. The result is a thread that captures light evenly, giving depth and brilliance to your embroidery. Double mercerization also increases resistance to repeated washing and light, preserving colors over time.
📦 Skein format and yield
The 2-gram skein contains 8 meters of thread. With one skein you can make about 150-200 cross stitches on 14 ct Aida fabric using 2 strands, or cover an area of about 5x5 cm with full stitch. For larger projects such as pictures or cushions, calculate the requirement based on the number of stitches in your pattern.
DMC guarantees the precision of color batches thanks to strict quality controls, but for projects requiring multiple skeins of the same color we recommend purchasing all the necessary skeins in a single order. This eliminates the risk of minor tonal variations between different batches, ensuring perfect color uniformity in the finished work.
🧶 Recommended work
For cross stitch on Aida fabric, use a tapestry needle n°24-26 with a rounded tip. This size passes easily through the fabric weave without damaging it, and is perfect for working with 2-3 strands of thread. On 14 ct Aida fabric (the most common), use 2 strands for standard coverage, 3 strands for a fuller and more substantial effect. On finer 18 ct Aida, reduce to 2 strands to maintain harmonious proportions.
For traditional fabric embroidery, you can vary the number of strands based on the desired effect: a single strand for very fine details and delicate shading, up to 6 strands for full fills and satin stitch. The thread separates easily without tangling thanks to the quality of the long fibers. If you are a beginner, Mouliné Spécial is ideal for learning: it flows smoothly, does not break and forgives small tension errors.
✨ Why choose DMC Mouliné Spécial Violet
Compared to inexpensive embroidery threads, DMC Mouliné Spécial solves the problem of color fastness. The dyes used by DMC are resistant to light and washing up to 95°C, ensuring that your work retains its original brilliance even after years. Many inexpensive threads fade after the first wash or show obvious tonal variations between skeins from the same batch.
The violet shade is particularly appreciated for its versatility: paired with greens and pinks, it creates romantic floral compositions, while combined with grays and blacks, it adds elegance to modern projects. The thread's shine makes the violet stand out naturally, without the need for metallic or artificial effects. Every stitch reflects light evenly, creating depth and three-dimensionality in the finished embroidery.
🎨 What you can make
The DMC violet thread is perfect for floral embroidery such as lavender, iris, wisteria and violets. Use it for cross stitch pictures with Provençal landscapes, decorative cushions with botanical motifs, or to personalize bed linen and towels with elegant initials. The violet shade is also suitable for mystical and spiritual projects, embroidered mandalas, and decorations for romantic events.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
DMC Mouliné Spécial is suitable for both beginners and experienced embroiderers. If you are starting, you will appreciate the ease with which the thread flows through the fabric without tangling, and the resistance that forgives small tension errors. The 6 separable strands allow you to experiment with different thicknesses without having to buy different threads.
Those who buy Mouliné Spécial violet are mainly hobbyists passionate about cross stitch and traditional embroidery, artisans who make personalized products on commission, and those looking for a quality handmade gift. The palette of 465 DMC colors allows you to complete any pattern without compromise, making this thread the professional choice par excellence.

📌 Important note
The length of 8 meters per skein is standard for DMC, but minimal tolerances of ±0.2 meters may occur due to the production process. For projects requiring multiple skeins of the same color, we recommend purchasing all the skeins you need at once to ensure perfect color uniformity. Although DMC maintains strict quality controls, minor tonal variations between different batches are possible. Store the skeins in a dry place away from direct light to preserve the brightness of the colors.
