Hi everyone. I’m back after the Christmas holidays. Today I am here with a review on the DMC shade that is from their Mouliné Color Variations collection this one is code 4215 (may be listed differently as 417F-E_4215) and the name is “Unicorn’s Tail” but also seems to be listed as “Northern Lights” in some places. And as you can guess from the name it is a variation of unicornesque shades of blue, pink and purple, and I think it is really pretty and sweet.
So in this thread we see darker blue through to lighter blue (with a purple hint) through to purple (which is quite lilac) through to bubblegum pink or reverse depending on which way you use the thread!
You can find this floss here. “A variegated six-strand floss that subtly changes shade within the same color family. Create delicate tonal patterns with a variety of effects as you stitch. 100% cotton”
I personally absolutely loved the colours on this floss, they were really enjoyable to look at and use. Please see the images below for examples of this thread in use.
So I used tested this floss out using a pattern from a book called “200 Japanese Cross Stitch Designs by Saeko Endo”. It’s a simple and easy mindfulness pattern which I’m really into right now. I love this book btw I totally recommend it, especially for those days when you just want to stitch for you… you know like it’s just you and the floss and the needle and nothing else really matters!
Anyway, in the examples I have stitched starting top row left to right, then second row back right to left, third row left to right and continued like that. I used 2 strands of thread. I changed the thread twice throughout, so I cut 90cm of length and then used 2 and a bit of that and the first time I changed thread I started at the opposite of the first thread, and did the same again for the third piece. Not that this matters but I just am really noting this down for reference and if it’s useful information to someone.
I hope this review has been helpful. Please enjoy looking at the photos if you like the pattern you can check out the book which has this pattern plus over a hundred more like it here.
