Six skeins, one color family, every shade already chosen to sit together. Each pack is six skeins of six-strand embroidery floss, about 8 meters each: a run of blues from pale sky to deep ocean, a set of soft-to-bright pinks, a green range from mint to forest, or six skeins of one color you use all the time, like black, bright white, red or yellow.

It is floss bought the way you actually stitch. Instead of a 100-color box full of shades you never reach for, you pick the palette your friendship bracelet, hair wrap or embroidery needs and get enough of each shade to finish it.

Every skein wears a paper band printed with its color number, and those numbers are DMC color numbers (this is not DMC-brand floss), so matching a chart key or restocking a favorite shade takes seconds.

How This Compares

Against big 100-color boxes: you get six shades that belong together, and nothing you won't use.
Against picking single skeins one by one: each set is chosen to work as one palette, so the shades sit together straight out of the pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of string is used for friendship bracelets?
Six-strand embroidery floss is the classic choice, and it is what these packs are. You can knot with all six strands or split them for finer patterns.

What size string do I need to make a friendship bracelet?
For most simple bracelets, cut each strand about 30 to 36 inches long. Each skein here is about 8 meters, so one skein gives you several bracelet-length strands.

Are the colors numbered?
Yes. Every skein has a paper band printed with a DMC color number, and the color charts show the six numbers in each set. The floss itself is not DMC brand.

Can I use these for cross stitch and embroidery too?
Yes. It is standard six-strand floss, so it works for cross stitch, hand embroidery and small decorative sewing as well as bracelets.
