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

Never going to have to buy DMC 310 thread again!! I knew it was a large spool of thread when I purchased it - but HOLY COW!! Never did I ever consider it would be as HUGE as it is!! Guess Im going to have to find a lot of projects with black in them to see this puppy dwindle!

Great product

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 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.

Would need a bigger qty for what Im using it for but its better than d 100 g cones Also needed yellow but couldnt find the shade i needed.Had to get it somewhere else

So glad I ordered when I did. People are having a hard time finding DMC black thread. I belong to a group & our patterns use a lot.

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

I got this because I do a lot of cross stitch and I am always needing white. But, I also got it to see if I could dye some of it. I have not had time to get to the dying.

great buy and totally worth the money

Love this and with the increase in the price of DMC, this makes for quite the deal. Might never have to buy DMC 310 again.
