It’s not surprising that we have a passion for embroidery. We’ve been manufacturing the World’s favourite embroidery thread, Mouliné Spécial, in the same factory in France since 1898.
Embroidery is like doodling on cloth with thread. It’s a great way to personalise clothes and homewares and create unique works of art. There’s a wealth of embroidery styles and stitches but beginners can create something really beautiful with a few simple stitches. The gentle drawing of thread through fabric and the rhythmic repetition of stitches takes you into a state of flow. Embroidery increases wellbeing, it gives a sense of calm and deep relaxation.
Learning embroidery with good quality materials will be more enjoyable and help you get better results but you don’t need much to get started. If you already love embroidery you’ll probably want to dive right in and select your favourite threads and patterns. Our 1000 patterns program is a huge and growing repository of free patterns. We regularly release new patterns. Sign up to have them sent directly to your inbox. If you prefer something that has been chosen for you, our embroidery kits have everything you need, including our iconic threads.
