DMC117F25-PC36 Embroidery Popular Colors Floss Pack, Colors may vary, 8.7-Yard, 36/Pack

This brand is high quality and doesn’t tangle or fray easily. The colors are vibrant. Great value.

Yes, I know, it is cheaper to puchase DMC thread individually but I simply have gotten tired of the mangled skeins from the bins in the stores. The cheaper price is simply not worth the mangled mess the skeins generally offer when you are trying to wind them on the bobbins. These skeins were neat and very easy to separate without tangles. The color selection is nothing unique or unusual but good on the basics that every collection needs. The colors were essentially the basic pastel colors, headed towards a primitive color collection. There were a couple of creams, two shades of browns, no blacks and the rest were shades of pastels. A great stash builder. I also ordered the "Holiday Collection" and there were no duplications between the two. What I spent in extra cost I have more than recovered in time winding the skeins to bobbins.

DMC is a really fine product, and easily available. I wanted to have a nice selection of colors on hand for a class I have been teaching.

I've read on my embroidery group that DMC is the way to go. This is my starter pack.

This DMC selection is great when someone is building up their floss selections. The packaging was excellent and I have kept the floss in it until I need a particular color.

Great starting pack if you're looking to grow your floss color selection. You can fill it in with the specific singles you need. My recommendation: make note of the color code number on each floss before you throw that sticker away. Write that number on the thing you're using to store your floss, so you can be sure to replace with the right color (and also not accidentally rebuy it). I use construction paper I've cut into cards that I use a hole punch to punch holes for the floss to go in. I can easily write the number next to each hole. The cards easily stack in my sewing case.DMC thread is better than other brands about the color not washing out. Don't get unknown brands if you want to be sure about the color holding.

I can spend HOURS at the craft store looking for new skeins to add to my (brand new) collection for my brand new cross stitch hobby... But I don't prefer to do that.This is a great assortment and was immediately put to use on my first big project that I'm hoping to have completed by May.Considering my local craft store sells one skein of DMC thread for .52 cents, I saved a couple bucks and time with this purchase and couldn't be happier.The thread is easy to manage and makes beautiful stitches and I'm very happy I found this assortment to lead me to my new love for DMC thread!

Very very very nice colors! You can't go wrong with DMC, great quality thread and a variety of shades within each color. I can use this with projects that ask for similar tones that I might not have and still works great.It's a shame that they didn't include black and white floss, but there's a very dark thread and a very light beige one that can make a pass for them if you're not too picky.It comes with two projects (the flowers in the vases shown in the packet). I didn't use them as I found them very plain and boring, but they can be a good start for beginners.Definitely a great purchase!
