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

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.

If you are in the know, you know, some of us stitchers go through a LOT of 310. This floss cone is the most economic way to go if you plan on using skein after skein of it. I averaged it out to about .30 cents a skein, which is a significant savings. The quality of my cones floss is excellent, and just as I expect from the DMC brand.

This cone is huge! Much larger than I was expecting since I had never seen one in person. I will not have to buy black floss for a long time.

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.

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

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

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.

This is a cross stitchers dream! Almost all of my patterns have black (310) in them and I run out all the time. When I saw this it was like wow, really over 2000 yards of floss?! Awesome!! I got it in the mail and when I opened it I was thrilled! This will save me money and time from running back and forth to the store when I run out. I will be buying this again when I start running low, which thanks to over 2000 yards of floss will be awhile!!

Great product

I love this!!! A huge cone of thread perfect for my hand embroidery projects!
