If you’re new to embroidery or cross stitch, you might hear people talking about DMC floss, stranded cotton and Mouliné Spécial and wonder what the difference is.

This is DMC’s classic stranded embroidery thread — and I have 2,627 skeins to work through during my 21-day challenge 😂

Day 1 of my 21 Day Thread Challenge 🧵

Apparently nobody wants to see my DMC embroidery thread collection…

Unfortunately for everyone, I have 1,600+ skeins of DMC stranded cotton and I’m about to make them everyone’s problem. 😂

I’m spending the next 21 days testing whether I can turn my embroidery thread stash into a proper little business — testing colours, thread bundles, embroidery supplies, TikTok trends, Etsy SEO and whatever else I can think of.

If you’re into embroidery, cross stitch, DMC thread, embroidery floss, needlework or craft supplies, you’re probably going to be seeing a LOT of this.

And yes, I absolutely have that colour you’re looking for. 👀

What colour should I show you first?

POV: you return to an old cross stitch WIP

the vibes are good
the design is cute
you’re ready to be productive

…but the needle??

the needle is WRONG

I have been spoiled by Clover gold needles and now everything else feels illegal

If you’ve ever gone back to an old cross stitch project and realised your tools just aren’t it anymore… welcome to the club 😅

This is your reminder that the right needle really does make a difference—especially for detailed projects like bookmarks and bookish cross stitch designs 📖✨
