What makes these 35 colours worth adding to my collection?

These shades were added to DMC’s range to broaden tonal choices and improve colour transitions in multi-shade projects. The selection includes subtle neutrals, bright accents, and mid-tones that complement the existing DMC palette, helping you capture finer gradients and more nuanced designs.

• Includes all 35 colours introduced in 2016 for expanded palette options
• Balanced mix of brights, pastels, and neutrals for versatility
• Carefully chosen to blend with standard DMC shades

How does the thread quality affect stitching performance?

DMC uses long-staple cotton and a double mercerization process to produce smooth, strong strands with a consistent sheen. That finish reduces fuzz and snagging, slips through fabric cleanly, and keeps stitches looking crisp over time.

• 100% long-staple cotton for durability and softness
• Double mercerised for enhanced sheen and reduced lint
• Colourfast and fade-resistant for long-lasting vibrancy

Why choose the Collector's Tin for storage and organization?

The tin provides a tidy, portable solution that protects skeins from dust and tangles while keeping colours visible at a glance. Its sturdy metal construction makes it ideal for travel, craft fairs, or simply reducing clutter on your work table.

• Compact metal tin keeps floss neatly contained and protected
• Flat layout makes it easy to view and select colours quickly
• Durable case suitable for storage, gifting, or display

How can these threads be used across different projects?

DMC stranded cotton is a multipurpose thread that adapts well to many handcraft techniques. Whether you split strands for delicate cross-stitch detail or use full strands for bold embroidery and friendship bracelets, the material performs consistently.

• Perfect for cross-stitch, counted-thread work, and surface embroidery
• Great choice for handmade jewellery like friendship bracelets
• Works with needlepoint and mixed-media textile projects
