About This Thread

DMC Mouliné Stranded Cotton is the world's best-selling embroidery thread, trusted by stitchers since 1746. Every 8-metre skein contains 6 easily separated strands so you can customise thickness — use all 6 for bold, dense coverage, or work with a single strand for fine shading and intricate detail.

Colour 168 — Very Light Pewter

This cool, metallic pewter sits beautifully within the silvers and greys range. It pairs naturally with neighbouring DMC shades for gradient blending, and creates striking contrast against complementary colours. Ideal for metallic effect work, shadow stitching, stone and slate textures, and contemporary neutral designs.
