Lots and Lots of DMC Embroidery Floss!


My friend Angela bought a DMC box of floss at the thrift store that she volunteers at, she wanted the box, not the floss...so she sent the floss to me knowing I'd go ga-ga over it!! and I did! 419 skeins. Newer, not vintage! They came neatly jumbled in the Priority Mail box, I separated the colors and took a count. 419! woooo hoooo yippy yi yayyyy!

I just told R. that if I die before it's gone, it goes to his daughter M. She'll lovvvvve it!

I just ordered 500 bobbins off ebay.

Wind Wind Wind Wind Wind...I'll be doing it for hours and then they can join my other 100 bobbins I've been winding lately of my mom's (vintage) floss and collected thrifted floss.

Oh happy day!

I'm so easy to please. :-)

    Did you know there was an android app called floss checklist that you ca. Use to keep inventory of DMC as well as other threads?

    Well, there's nothing better than making someone's Day, and I'm glad to have done this for you! That pile of floss would have driven me mad, however, I love love love the box!

    I've got all kinds of old DMC embroidery floss sitting in a closet from my days doing count cross stitch. Every so often I think I'll get back to it then reality takes over.
