DMC floss question

Posted by Barbara on April 6, 2009, 9:42 am

I just purchased a few colors of floss all different numbers. I noticed
that the threads are thinner looking and have a different feel to the
touch(when working with them).
Anyone else noticed this?
some of the numbers I purchased-
#906
#907
#3853
#368
#369
#632
#934
#817
#523
#3826
#522
Purchased at A.C. Moore, Fredericksburg ,VA two weeks ago

I dont know about the colors you mention, but it is true that some DMC
colors are thinner than others. That is why I substitute 3867 (I think),
Winter White for Blanc or 3600. It may be my imagination, but I associate
"heavy" colors with thick thread, and vice versa. Jim.

Thank you very much. I put my new floss next to my old stock and there
was a difference.Hopefully it wont make too much of a difference on my
project.

I know others on rctn have heard this too often, but would you agree with
me that it is a good to know how much floss you need to finish a project,
BEFORE you start stitching? Jim.

The company I purchased the pattern from,did not send me the update
change to the mistake in the pattern,until I was more then half way
done. After several emails. Telling them the problem.The
pattern was the Sea Sprite. Start at page one and work your way down and
find the mistake at pg 17 near the bottom row .
I was using some of the material I had left after starting over and
repurchasing almost everything again. I could have purchased the art
work and still had money left over.
I am still a little mad with this company.I will never purchase from
them again.Never offered to refund for the mistake.Just sent me an email
with the new pattern. I paid $15.00 for the pattern ,that is
worthless.And I had to print out the pattern after purchasing more ink
for my printer at $70 for the ink.
