DMC Aroma Floss

Posted by lucille on March 25, 2009, 10:39 am

I just saw a survey on About's cross stitch website on whether you would use
the DMC Aroma Floss.

So far the vote was 75% no.

How many of you might use this product?

I vote no because of allergy problems.

Never. They probably all smell like chemicals.

I vote no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have more floss than I'll ever use but often don't have the color I need.
I've made a vow not to buy more threads, fancy fibers or ribbons and use what
I've got on hand unless I'm so taken with a project that I have to use what the
designer says I must.

OTOH, I *might* buy interesting stuff if it was on sale ;-)

Same here--offer me a interesting bargain and I'm unable to refuse it.

Last night, I began gathering threads for the three dimensional patio project
from my new favo(u)rite magazine, Stitches. I wasn't surprised that I had none
of the Anchor threads so I hopped on over to yarntree.com for a conversion to
DMC file.

Despite having many, many, browns and rust hues, I didn't have alot of the
threads that were suggested. I pulled out my stash of Needle Necessities browns
to see what might work and made a list of the missing ones.

I was about to hop into the car despite the heavy rain when I came to my
senses. Paraphrasing the directions which say "don't worry about the colors.
Use what you have," I realized that I didn't need all those colors to make an
attractive wall having bricks formed by blending different colored threads at
the same time to create a mottled effect.

Have you had an AHA moment recently?
