DMC Mouliné Spécial embroidery floss

DMC (Dollfus-Mieg & Compagnie) is a world-renowned French textile company headquartered in Mulhouse, France. Founded in 1746 by Jean-Henri Dollfus, the brand is legendary in the needlework industry, particularly for its six-strand embroidery floss which has become the global standard for cross-stitch and embroidery enthusiasts.

The product is famously manufactured in France at the company's historic factory in Mulhouse, which has been in operation for centuries. This dedicated manufacturing site ensures the high quality, lightfastness, and consistent dye lots for which the brand is known. Through various industrial transitions over the centuries, DMC has maintained its position as a premium provider of textile arts materials.

In recent years, the company has undergone changes in ownership to ensure its long-term stability. As of the current period leading into 2026, the brand is owned by BlueGem Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in the United Kingdom. Despite the shift in corporate ownership to a British firm, the brand maintains its deep French heritage, and the primary production of its flagship embroidery threads remains firmly rooted in France.
