DMC 5628-310 Six Strand Embroidery Cotton, 500gm, Black

If you want quality and quantity this is the way to buy DMC thread. It is the same DMC as smaller skeins but makes sense to buy it in cones for large cross stitch projects ordering was simple and delivery was on time with no problems.

I cant say it loud enough - this is a TON OF EMBROIDERY FLOSS!!!!! Yes, this seems to be genuine DMC six strand embroidery floss, theres a DMC stamp on it. This color 321 a.k.a. Christmas Red is DMCs most popular standard red. I recently decided to try purchasing basic colors in bulk because I got tired of the leftover bits from each regular skien that werent long enough to use in my next project. I ordered 100g cones of black and white, but bought this 500g cone of red because of the incredibly low price of $16.09. Maybe it was on sale at the time but this 500g red cone was cheaper than the going price for 100g cones. Win, win! Of course having never purchased embroidery floss in bulk before, I had no idea what 500g meant - ITS A LOT!!! I will never ever have to purchase red floss again in my life, no kidding. The picture certainly doesnt give you any idea how big it is. Its big, but not so huge that storage will be a problem. Two 500g cones fit into a womens athletic shoe box, with little room for anything else in the box. Overall, this is a great value for the price. Its more red floss than I need or want, but not so much that storage will be a problem. This is 2,270 yards of floss. Each regular skien is 8.7 yards, which means this is the equivalent of 261 skiens.

Good product. Great for dying and using!

Fast delivery and was much better deal then buying hundreds of little skiens .

No more bug hunts for black embroidery thread for my Russian needlepunch projects! Yea! If only they had other colors, besides red and white, in cones like this available.

This is a slightly different shade than my skeins of 310, but as long as Im just using the cone, that doesnt matter. There is a LOT of floss on here. Strands separate easily. Good buy.

Fantastic !!!

Who could want any more? Great way to get a color used with just about every project.

I love that I wont have to buy black (310) DMC for a long time! It is awesome! Totally worth it!

I know it says 500gm, but until you see it in person, you dont really GET how much that is. This will last you for the rest of your life. Even if you only stitch in black! Its amazing!
