Default Pearl cotton thread packs

Hello everyone!

Is there a set of thread packs that would cover all the DMC pearl
cotton range? I want to buy myself a set here before I go back home,
and the local Michaels only has individual threads hanging.

Shanti.

Why not??? It's YOUR embroidery!! You use what you choose to get the
effect you want! Go ahead and play with it, see if you like it in that
setting. (p.s., the newly-popular Brazilian Embroidery uses several
different weights of rayon threads to get various different effects).

Oh yes, I understand that. But does pearl cotton stand up to wash and
wear on "useful" things like serviettes? I seem to remember vaguely
that it does not...

Shanti.

Hi Shanti -

I don't know what size you are looking for, but I do know that DMC doesn't
package #5 that way.

My "designer ring" of all the colors ended up costing me several hundred
dollars. Some of the colors I doubt I'll ever use.
