Where to purchase dmc floss

In order to reduce the costs of sending threads to the US, they put this thread on cones and send them. The US factory then cuts the cones up into skeins to sell. I feel I might have just given the whole reason for buying cones away already there; you can save money. However, it has other uses too.

A standard skein of thread can cost you anywhere from 50c to a dollar on average, worldwide. It can be higher or lower depending on where you live. To put that into perspective, that works out at 27c per skein. You just saved yourself a boatload. However, it gets better! This may seem a little confusing at first, after all, you know exactly how to use thread. So, how do we suggest you use cones? Simple; black and white. As a result, with the exception of large blocks of color, you may have to stitch for a special project, black and white will be your most used colors.

These are the ones we suggest you buy in cones. I own black, blanc, B white, and purple-blue. This, dear reader, is where things get a little complicated. As we said above, cones are actually meant for shipping between DMC outlets in different countries. Therefore; getting your hands on them can be difficult. If you live outside of the US that is. If you need one of the other threads in the range of 35, you need to look on eBay.

For those of us outside of the US, we only really have eBay to use. I personally also see them on Etsy from time to time as well. But I would strongly suggest avoiding Aliexpress to buy anything cross-stitch related , as its almost always fake.

The good news, however, is that the stores on eBay usually sell for the same price as the US and include shipping, meaning you get just as good, if not a better, deal. You know you can get the full range of Madeira stranded cotton on cones, too? I bought a gm cone of from stitch. They take a bit longer to get, they have to make them in France and then ship to the US so it takes close to 6 weeks, but it is worth the wait.
