Type of Floss:

Finca Mouline six-strand embroidery floss, also known as Article O5, is available for purchase as individual skeins.

Prescencia Finca flosses have been familiar to European and South American stitchers for quite some time, but have only been available in the USA for the past few decades.

Composition of Finca Mouline Floss:

Solid dyed Finca Mouline Embroidery Floss is 100% mercerized cotton. It is presented in 8 meter (8.75 yard) skeins.

Range of Colors:

There are over 250 solid colors and over 30 variegated floss colors.

Characteristics of Finca Moulline Floss:

Finca Mouline Embroidery floss is high-quality, strong, and easy to stitch with. Under normal stitching circumstances, very little breakage occurs.

Tips for Working with Finca Mouline Floss:

Separate the strands and recombine for better coverage, and smoother, flatter stitches. Be sure to check the grain of the floss as well.

    My Personal Experiences with Finca:

    I really enjoy stitching with Finca Mouline Embroidery Floss. I find it to be of the same quality as DMC and Anchor flosses, although the color range is not quite as extensive. I particularly like how well the variegated colors match the solid colors.
