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!

This is a slightly different shade than my skeins of 310, but as long as Im just using the cone, that doesnt matter. There is a LOT of floss on here. Strands separate easily. Good buy.

Be aware that this is 1.3 MILES of DMC 310. Why they list it by the weight, we will never know. It would be more helpful if they would list it by the yardage/meters. It is not the smaller cone. This is the one that is as big as your head. I have already told my adult children that Im leaving it in my will to them. So, if you need more DMC 310 that you will probably use in your lifetime, this is the one you want to order. Do not order this if you have underlying health conditions that make you easily startled by enormous cones of floss. I have affectionately nicknamed mine the Cone of DOOM!

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

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

As ad

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.

Great product

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.
