Kirov, MayFlower, DOME, JP Coats, Ariadna, Belka, Bestex, Finca, Semco (and others) and ready-made embroidery kits from Dimensions, Lanarte, Panna, Pinn, Riolis, Alice, Golden Fleece, Heritage Crafts, Vervaco, E.

A set of almost every set includes canvas, thread, needle, pattern and instruction.
Matching table for floss Gamma, DMC, Anchor, Madeira Let's try to embroider in different sets to determine the best, most convenient and interesting option for yourself.
Of course, the manufacturers of threads of floss and kits considered by us are only basic, in fact there are much more manufacturers.
We made a review of those floss that are in the table of colors matching the mulina.
The transfer table for the moulinet will allow you to embroider any mulina that you bought, even when to the scheme of the VMI or Madeira number not available to you at cost or location.
I want to recommend a few points at the end:
- So that the thread is not tangled or stiff with embroidering, keep the length of the thread at 50 cm, no more;
- All flosses can withstand washing at high temperaturesTemperatures, but still we recommend that you do not erase the finished works in the machine, but manually and preferably at low water temperatures - so you are guaranteed to save the embroidery.
- Ready work should not be squeezed or wrung out, much less dried in an auto-dryer.
- To return the floss to the former shine you need to wash the work in warm water with vinegar added to it, which also prevents molting.
