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 471 — Very Light Avocado Green

This muted, earthy avocado green sits beautifully within the earthy greens range. It pairs naturally with neighbouring DMC shades for gradient blending, and creates striking contrast against complementary colours. Ideal for botanical embroidery, earth-tone foliage, 70s-inspired designs, and muted nature scenes.
