DMC 5628-310 Six Strand Embroidery Cotton, 500gm, Black

I do primitive stitchery and use a LARGE quantity of black and red floss. This cone is not quite as dark red as I preferred, but the cost difference between this and buying by the skein is unbelievable. I would order this again.

So glad I ordered when I did. People are having a hard time finding DMC black thread. I belong to a group & our patterns use a lot.

I am working on a large project with a lot of black and this was prefect.

I use embroidery floss to make cotton rope baskets, and any decent sized basket requires way more floss than one of those little skeins provide. This is a nice bright white color, not a cream or a natural. I wish that this six ply stuff would stick together a little bit better, though. It can take a few tries to thread even a darning needle because one or two strands will sneak themselves outside of the eye. But once its threaded and tied, this is pretty good stuff for crafts.

I love that I wont have to buy black (310) DMC for a long time! It is awesome! Totally worth it!

This cone is huge! Much larger than I was expecting since I had never seen one in person. I will not have to buy black floss for a long time.

Its perfect, I cross stitch a lot and use black in most of all my jobs. .. I tried it and I love it. ...

Never going to have to buy DMC 310 thread again!! I knew it was a large spool of thread when I purchased it - but HOLY COW!! Never did I ever consider it would be as HUGE as it is!! Guess Im going to have to find a lot of projects with black in them to see this puppy dwindle!

Fast delivery and was much better deal then buying hundreds of little skiens .

If you want quality and quantity this is the way to buy DMC thread. It is the same DMC as smaller skeins but makes sense to buy it in cones for large cross stitch projects ordering was simple and delivery was on time with no problems.
