Summarized by AI
I'm impressed that an order containing almost 20 different-colored skeins of floss (in addition to other items) was 100% accurate AND packed in its own bag separately from the rest of my order. It's DMC floss, so no need to "try it" at present, because I know it will be excellent when the project is started.
Love DMC stranded floss! And lovecrafts dispatches so fast it was with me within 48 hours. DMC is so smooth, easy to work with. Minimal knotting and perfect for both embroidery and cross stitch.

For me, this is the best quality thread for my cross stitch projects, it is quick and easy to thread through the needles and you can unpick it quite successfully if like me you make the odd counting mistake! I would recommend it to anyone starting off for the first time with a cross stitch project. I will be trying to do some embroidery in the new year and DMC will be my thread of choice.
