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

Fantastic !!!

I use a lot of black embroidery floss - lately, I have bee using it to hand=quilt old t-shirts into squares. I started out just using it to outline the black coloring book lines on a 20-yr-old shirt that I loved. Made the design pop right back out again. Then I started taking others, and using those black edging lines to make quilt squares, to make a quilt out of these shirts I dont really where but are precious. So I have been using a lot of it, which means going to buy it, then winding it on those little plastic squares you have to use unless you want your floss to get all tangles. THIS solved so many problems. Seems to be just the same DMC quality, too.

So convenient! I am a fan of large B&W patterns and go through a lot of black anyway. This will not only save me some money, but time as well. I will be buying this again.

I do primitive stitchery and use a LARGE quantity of black and red floss. This cone is not quite as dark red as I preferred, but the cost difference between this and buying by the skein is unbelievable. I would order this again.

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

I am working on a large project with a lot of black and this was prefect.

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.

Love that they make these big cones.

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.

I cross stitch alot. As much black as Im using, this is a great buy. Wish Id known about it earlier
