Embroidery Floss, Cross Stitch Thread for Sewing and Hand Craft Embroidery | Suitable for Bracelet Thread Making | Set of 447 Skeins Rainbow Color Cotton Strings

I’m not one that usually takes the time out of my day to write a review, I figured enough people have previously done so. However, in this case, I must take the time to offer my opinion. I want to state before I start, I have not received any compensation for my time nor review. With all that being said, I will start out saying this is the best generic cross stitch floss I have ever used. When I say that, I probably in the past 50 (ouch, am I that old?) years spent thousands of dollars creating masterpieces for weddings, birthdays, babies, housewarmings, memories and even items for their fur babies, I don’t discriminate. I admit the floss everyone started out using is a great floss. I have no problems with DMC floss. It does the job it is intended to do, the colors are brilliant, the durability is there, it’s what we all have used because there were no options. The problem is, it is very pricey. On average a project can use 50+ colors and at .60 a color, you can spend $30.00+ on floss alone. This is not including the fabric, metallics or charms. We won’t discuss the cost of framing. What used to be a $10 -$15 gift jumped up to $75.00+. In some cases the cost prices the project out of reach for some. They may be like me and uses this craft as a sort of therapy and has to settle for less due to the cost. Now there are tons of wannabes out there that say they are equal to or better than DMC for less money. This was not the case UNTIL I found the Thread Nanny here on Amazon. I have to admit I was very skeptical, they sounded too good to be true. How could anyone produce a floss as good as DMC for pennies? Well, they have and I will stand behind them 100%. This floss is not only affordable but offers the same characteristics as DMC. I have taken each individual color number and compared it with the DMC color chart and yes, in some instances there may be a slightly different color than the DMC color, but who cares? We are not mixing this brand and DMC on the same project or at least I don’t. Pink is pink, blue is blue, etc. I hate to think how much I spent on DMC because of my skepticism. Money down the drain. I have already used quite a bit of my first purchase of the 447 color package. As soon as I complete this review I will purchase another 447 package. I have gradually weeded out DMC and have replaced it with floss from the Thread Nanny. In closing I must say, I am one happy lady because of this company. The Thread Nanny has made me a very happy Grammy!

I think this is a fantastic way to build up your floss inventory. Yeah - so they ain't perfect. Instead of all the skeins being 1 complete length - I did have a couple, maybe 3 skeins that were either cut or tied together. I'm going to cut the strands anyways, so that doesn't bother me. I did compare the colors to my DMC floss and for the most part - they match. However, there are some colors that are not exact. Does that matter to me - not in the least. I had rather have the variety of colors at a good price. I will use these to kit my small patterns and I think they'll turn out just fine. I have pictures of some of the colors. I got anxious to get them on bobbins and stopped taking pictures. Let me say - I am pleased that the majority of the colors do match up well with the DMC floss that I do have. Either way - I will enjoy using this floss and I plan to buy again. In the pictures - the ones labeled TN - are thread nanny floss and the other is DMC. As you will see - for the most part, the colors match up well enough.

This is a good thing to get for those that are on a budget and would really like this large of a collection. I think it figures to approximately $0.25 per skein, which is cheaper than in most stores. Like the description says, it is not DMC brand. There are DMC numbers on each one to assist in your projects. I did however receive 2 of the same color number, so that is possible to happen. everything comes packaged nicely and orderly. Colors are organized together. I will probably get this again just because I have gift cards to use and that is a lot of thread in a nice mixed bundle.

I purchased this for my 86 year old mother and she absolutely loves it... she does her cross stitching every day and makes all kinds of different things... every few weeks I would have to bring her to one of the local hobby shops so she can pick out different colors for the project she was working on and sometimes they didn't have the colors she was looking for...I didn't mind bringing her at all but the amount of time involved looking for the colors she needed was a little overwhelming...I purchased this assortment for her and now we are both happy 😂 It contains every color imaginable and there's plenty of each color... she absolutely loves it

I looked for a good deal on floss packages for a while and finally came across this gem. All the big packages of floss in this price range were cheaply made, and gave you so many repeat colors, what's the point? These are just as good as DMC, have the same color codes, and not one color is the same! I'm almost overwhelmed with my choices. And if I actually can't find just the right color, i can mix them together and make whatever I want! The only thing I would say to be aware of is although they're the same length as DMC floss when unwound, each bundle is shorter than a DMC bundle, so if you plan on using the DMC stitchbows floss holders, they don't just fit right over them like the others would. I had to wind them on myself. But that in no way takes away from the quality of the product, 5 stars all the way:D

Truly Wonderful Floss. I know there have been some questions regarding their match to DMC floss and, so I wanted to offer my feedback on them. The color and number match the DMC color visually and to the printed DMC Floss Guide. They feel just like DMC floss that I already have and work just as well. The quality is fantastic. I purchased the entire 447 bundles and could not be happier. If you are uncertain, try the 100 pack first. That is what I did and right away I knew I needed all 447 of the colors. At this price, these are truly a value. Thank you! Happy Crafter

These colours are handy for my tapestry, cross stitch and any time works

lovely colors

It is a shame that it is not possible to buy the embroidery thread colours one at a time as required for a particular project. Way to difficult to source individual colours. The only way is to buy the box of all the DMC coulours to get what you want.

Threads were excellent

Great value for money
