DMC Stranded Cotton Shade Card - W100B

The product itself is great. The stranded version is fabulous for color matching.... but the shipping.... 1st one recieved was damaged from only being in a bubble mailer, contacted customer sevice and was assured that the replacement would be better packaged.... well that showed up in an identical bubble mailer, contacted customer service again and was told that they cant really do anything about that. Super disappointed because it would be 5 stars easy if Amazon could figure out that it needs to be in a box

Quality product delivered as promised.

That was a great purchase!

This is exactly what I was looking for! I want to change the colors of some cross stitch patterns that I have purchased and this makes it easier to choose colors and see what other options there are within a color family. It has also helped me label some mislabeled colors in my collection. I kind of wish the colors were removable to make it easier when selecting a bunch of colors for a design, it would be easier to be able to see them all together, then put them back when I was done. Still very happy with this. The only drawback is the folding of this item. I can see it getting worn out over time and I will hate to have to tape it together but I will do it if that day ever comes!

The real floss samples were exactly what I was looking for

I always try for one with threads as it is easier to match. My last one was 15 years old and a lot on new has been added.

Excellent to be able to see the actual colors.

This card contains the 35 new regular colors, plus other specialty ones as well, including variegated and the E-series, and thickness samples for the Perle coton series. Youll have to make a bit of effort to make sense of the numbering method, but its not hard to use, and with this card in hand you can match any thread quickly and easily. If youve never bought a color card, you may be tempted to go with the cheaper printed card. Trust me, its worth the price difference to get this one - you get *actual thread samples,* not a photo, which makes all the difference. This is my second color card. Im amazed by how different it is from my first one bought years ago. DMC was always the best in the business but they did not rest on their laurels - they continue to expand the range of available colors, thickness and textures. Well done DMC.

Very nice product, just as I expected with the various strands of DMC thread.

I like that I can look and see what colors I need
