To separate the floss's strands, take your skein and find the tail that sticks out. Pull the tail out from the skein slowly until you have an 18" length of floss and cut it off. If you'd like to separate the thread into individual strands, pull one strand up and out slowly until it's fully separated from the others.

There just is no substitute for DMC floss. It separates more easily, it doesn't tangle as easily, it doesn't break as easily, it has a smoother texture, and is just all around better quality. Other brands will tempt you with what seem like great bargains. Remember, you get exactly what you pay for.

Sue / 07/29/2020

Great thread, too bad so many colors are out of stock. Can't really rely on the site to have what you need. To be fair, this might be due to Covid. If not, I wish they would sort out the supply...

Rebecca Field  / 05/04/2020

I have been doing Counted Cross-stitch for over 45 years. Many years ago I was doing an Advent Calendar for my children using DMC floss. I had run out of 310 (I know. Who ever runs out of black?!) which i needed to finish the nose on the reindeer. I did have some black floss from another company, so thinking "black was black" i used the other floss for the nose. When I looked at the finished project, I was absolutely stunned at the difference in the sheen of the different flosses. I was grateful that it was the nose that was done in the inferior floss as the color was flat without any sheen to it at all. This was a lucky mistake because it helped the nose to appear more normal. But the differences between the inferior black and the DMC was just astounding! I've only used DMC since. You make an exceptional, reliable product at a fair price that is easily found at my local craft stores. And the color selection just keeps getting better and better. Thank you so much for helping me to "Paint with thread" and create beautiful pieces of art while helping to maintain my Sanity!

Needed help with conversion from 1995 thread requirement for Christmas Tree Skirt kit. "DMC Natalie", is as dependable as the thread! She was diligent in helping me get the correct colors. This kind of customer service is very much appreciated!!

Sally Miller / 01/01/2018

I am an avid embroiderer and have Ben for years and years. I have always loved the reliability of the DMC floss. No matter what 5hw colors were true and you could easily repair or finish old p

Margene Mollison / 12/27/2017

Thank you for having a site where I am able to get what I need. The stores in my area seem to have dropped the DMC needle threader which is the only one that has the fine gauge wire which fits into the size26 needle. For the most part I am happy with the item, however some of them are not well done at the manufacturer therefore I find myself breaking them and needing quite a few for my projects.. love your products
