Each skein sits in its own paper band with its color number printed on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat little numbered band is what makes this set so easy to stitch from. Cross stitch charts list their colors by number, and these skeins are labeled with DMC color numbers (this is not DMC-brand floss), so you can read a chart key, pick up the right skein and start. And when one color runs low halfway through a project, you already know the number to look for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery skein is about 8 meters (8.75 yards) long and made of six strands you can separate, so one set covers fine outlines with a single strand, cross stitch with two, and bold friendship bracelets with all six.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/1082\/9474\/files\/15_d701ac86-c823-4ef1-9dd3-1793e6fcb033.jpg?v=1725353772\" alt=\"Hands holding a large bundle of colorful six-strand embroidery floss skeins\" width=\"520\" height=\"520\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoose Your Pack Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50 skeins\u003c\/strong\u003e — 50 different colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100 skeins\u003c\/strong\u003e — 100 different colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e150 skeins\u003c\/strong\u003e — 150 different colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e200 skeins\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same 150 colors, plus 50 repeat skeins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e250 skeins\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same 150 colors, plus 100 repeat skeins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 200 and 250 packs keep the full 150-color range and add second skeins on top, so you have backup thread in hand before a big project runs short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/1082\/9474\/files\/3_93a2adcd-06f5-4d8e-95a8-01fdad288e53.jpg?v=1725003808\" alt=\"250-skein embroidery floss set arranged in a rainbow heart: 150 different colors plus 100 repeat skeins\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkeins:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250, depending on the pack you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 8 m (8.75 yards) per skein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrands:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 per skein, separable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabels:\u003c\/strong\u003e a paper band on every skein, printed with its DMC color number\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft cotton-polyester blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e smooth, bright and non-fading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacking:\u003c\/strong\u003e skeins arrive together in a plastic bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/1082\/9474\/files\/8_feeceb3c-abfd-4574-b84b-91c81f72ea3d.jpg?v=1725003809\" alt=\"Rows of six-strand embroidery floss skeins, each with a paper band printed with its color number and barcode\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross stitch:\u003c\/strong\u003e numbered skeins you can match straight to a chart key.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand embroidery:\u003c\/strong\u003e outlines, lettering, satin-stitch flowers and filled leaves, with enough shades to blend.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFriendship bracelets:\u003c\/strong\u003e use all six strands for chunky knots, or split them for finer patterns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTassels and small crafts:\u003c\/strong\u003e the product video shows the floss made into tassels, tassel earrings and a crocheted flower.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/1082\/9474\/files\/17_3dfa6da7-0a0d-4d26-9195-b889083334ad.jpg?v=1725353771\" alt=\"Friendship bracelets knotted from embroidery floss, held in one hand\" width=\"520\" height=\"520\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA First Stash That Grows With You\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are just starting cross stitch or embroidery, a big set means you are not buying one skein at a time for every new pattern.

That is exactly what this set is: six-strand floss, about 8 m per skein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the skeins numbered to match cross stitch charts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Each skein has a paper band printed with a DMC color number, the numbering most cross stitch charts use. The floss itself is not DMC brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan embroidery floss be used as sewing thread?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, for hand sewing and decorative stitching, such as sewing on buttons with a contrast color, blanket stitch on felt, or visible mending. For a sewing machine, use regular sewing thread instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use embroidery floss for friendship bracelets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
