Hi! So I’ve had some great string and some awful string. Is there any string that you recommend? Or what is your favorite brand of string? Thanks! Cami-Knots |

I've always used DMC, my local craft store sells them for pretty cheap which is nice. ln my mother's thread collection there's this two-strand embroidery floss which i've always deeply hated, i very rarely use it if i need a specific color but it's texture is so visible and i dislike it very much.

I like Anchor a lot. The quality is nice, and they have very pretty multicoloured thread options.

@Cami-Knots DMC threads are a safe bet 😉 You can use them for many things: embroidery, regular and alpha patterns, macrame...

I get my string off of Amazon (mini skater) which is 50 strings. I haven’t had an issue with the quality. If I want multi colour string I go to Micheal’s.

I started out with the cheap and twisted like cotton pearl that you can buy at dollar stores or michaels/walmart for cheap, then I tried out loops and threads but when I switched to the packs you can get on temu/amazon/shein for cheap I fell in love. The strings are super soft and easy to use plus I have two giant cones of white and black dmc thread which goes well with my soft threads, I even got a bunch of multicoloured threads and metallics which I like that are easier to use than the dmc version. They don't have a specific brand for what I use but I'm not super picky, I sometimes use dmc special threads or anchor or other brands than I buy off of etsy but I honestly prefer my generic threads (which I think are polyester and cotton) they don't snap unlike my dmc threads and they are comfortable for me to work with (and I notice sensory/texture differences by threads easily)
