Mouliné Profilo 117

117 is a dark purple from the Stafil Profilo 6 Mouliné range, a 100% cotton thread supplied in 8 metre skeins of 6 divisible strands. The strands separate easily, so you can stitch with the thickness that suits your fabric: usually 2 strands for cross stitch on 14-count Aida, 1 strand for outlines and backstitch, 3 or more on coarser fabrics. It also works for traditional embroidery, Hardanger and needlepoint.
