Does anyone know great places where you can get good quality embroidery floss?? I usually get mine off of Amazon but sometimes they give you such little amounts of string for each color. I know you can get some from Michaels, but you have to buy them individually and I’m too indecisive for that 😂.

I get the DMC brand. I purchase it from either Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, or Joanns depending on who has it in stock. Here are the numbers I use:Burgundy-498 Dark red-321 Medium Red-666 Light red-606 Red orange-946 Orange-741 Yellow-307 Golden yellow-444 Light green-3819 Medium Green-701 Dark green-699 Turquoise-3812 Sky blue-162 Light blue-3845 Medium blue-3843 Dark blue-796 Light purple-554 Medium purple-552 Dark purple-550 Light pink-605 Medium pink-602 Dark pink-600 Light gray-02 Dark gray-04 Light tan-437 Tan-435 Brown-433 Hope this helps with your indecisiveness 😃! |

You can also get packs of string at Michaels, I know DMC is like $12.00 for a pack of 5 strings, but Micheals also has Loops & Threads which is one of my favorite string brands, And they also have Prism, which I’ve never tried but I’ve heard it’s good. If you don’t like craft cord (the string loops & threads sells aimed more toward friendship bracelets. It has a smooth, soft texture it’s shiny, and is wrapped around itself, like DMC cotton pearl.) So if you don’t like craft cord Loops & Threads also has embroidery floss (which is soft but rough compared to DMC.) And you can get that stuff in packs + Loops & Threads also has packs named “Sunset” which has more red, oranges, and yellows in it. Last thing, this may not be a pack but it has enough string as a pack, is Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread, it comes in sparkly, normal, and black & whites. Most people say it’s to thin but it’s just the right size (for me at least) by the way if you do get Aunt Lydia’s Crochet String then get size Classic 10. It may not give you the colors you want from the packs, but it has such a wide variety (Loops & Threads cost $5.00 for a pack of 36 skeins idk about prism, I also recommend getting white and black crochet thread because those are some of the most used colors, and the crochet thread cost $4.00.) I hope this helped at lest a bit! 😊 I personally don’t own to much DMC because it’s so expensive and I think it isn’t really worth spending like 100 dollars for a pack of 30. It’s string and one skein gets used up really fast, that’s just my opinion. Any ways! I hope this helped! 😊 😄
