How to separate your thread

In this video we will show you how to separate your thread.

Facts & handy tips

When working with Mouline, you won’t always use the whole skein at once. A skein is made of 6 threads, spun together loosely. Depending on which stitch you are using and how you want your final piece to look, you will use a smaller number of these strands rather than all 6.

1.

Start by cutting the length that you require for your project. You don’t want to start with too much thread as it will get tangled as you embroider. A lot of people tend to do the length from their fingers to their elbow, this gives you a manageable amount of thread to use.

2.

If you think two strands is a good amount for your project, then pull the thread apart at the top, taking 2 strands in one hand and 4 in the other. You can then simply pull the strands away from each other, and this will split your thread in two.

This is how you do it
