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 816 — Garnet

This deep, gemstone garnet red sits beautifully within the garnets and deep reds range. It pairs naturally with neighbouring DMC shades for gradient blending, and creates striking contrast against complementary colours. Ideal for jewel-tone designs, deep floral work, Victorian-inspired motifs, and rich borders.
