UMC STAG Pack of 50 Popular Colours Premium Embroidery Thread | 100% Egyptian Cotton Premium Skeins | Cross Stitch Embroidery Floss | Oeko TEX Certified Stranded Cotton | Ideal for Arts & Crafts

Good quality and outstanding colours! Perfect to make bracelets

I love that they arrived in a nice box very much like DMC but very affordable lovely floss perfect for cross stitching or Embroidery would buy again

Good for the price and the only bulk pack I could find that is actually cotton. A good range of colours, mostly. I have had a few packs now and they are definitely not all the same mix and some are a bit skewed to certain colours. Not as good as mire expensive brands like DMC that I am more familiar with, but good for the price and I'll probably buy again when I have used up the massive pile I currently have!

Good quality threads in a good choice of colours. Quick delivery.

For a beginner just wanting to know if embroidery is something for me I think these threads are perfect. I wanted a decent material and Egyptian cotton is really good. The polyester threads might be a bit cheaper but they also look cheap and don't have the "feeling". And as I'm trying to learn stitches I never even heard about it is unimportant which colour I use. I also try to find out the difference when using the whole thread which consists of 6 threads or just two or three of them. And there will be enough left for a small project. Perhaps I wouldn't buy this set if I was an experienced knitter as you might want more of your favourite colours and don't use some other colours although all of them are nice. I think I can use all of them as I sometimes need some thread for embellishing my crocheted items.

Nice thread.It's proper cotton, not polyester like so many other brands. I did a flame test to check.The packaging is a lookalike for the top brand and I find the quality of the thread indistinguishable from them. These are not numbered, but should be easy to match by sight.The colours are good, with a reasonable selection, including 5 variegated ones.They are labelled colourfast, although I haven't tested that myself yet.The thread is strong, smooth and works well. I sew with two strands usually and this separates easily. There are no issues with twist or rubbing and I would definitely recommend for beginners or expegienced embroiderers alike.

As a basic embroidery thread, they are not bad. Good selection of colours. However, as far as production/manufacture goes, I would not buy them again. First problem is that they seem to have more of a twist to the threads than other brands I have used. But the far bigger issue is that they tangle up VERY easily. With other brands, especially one that has been around since I was a kid, you pull the loose end, and it will just feed out of the skein as you need. With these, when you pull the loose end, almost immediately the entire skein starts to tangle and knot up. Very frustrating/irritating, and a lot of extra unnecessary work.

Excellent quality, Iʼm your regular customer now👍🙂

Honestly, surprised doesn't cut it. I'm SHOCKED at how amazing this thread is. I have DMC thread and I have friendship bracelet thread (I like the texture differences despite the very frustrating knotting) So I thought why not give this a shot. This thread is so soft, shiny and smooth it kept slipping right out of my needle when I wasn't paying attention. I've tried to compare it to my DMC thread but I feel like it's its own thing. UMC has comparable shine and softness, but the textures are slightly different. I'll be buying more of this thread. The colors are beautiful, the feel is soft, I'm super impressed.

Set di cotoni colorati adatti al ricamo, specie al punto croce.IL SET è contenuto in una scatola di cartone richiudibile. I cotoni hanno la classica forma che conosciamo, con due cartoncini che li bloccano e ci offrono qualche dato in più. Sono in cotone egiziano 100%, lunghi 8 metri per sei capi divisibili. Li uso per ricamare, specie per il punto croce, anche se è adatto a qualsiasi tipo di ricamo.LE DIFFERENZE CON I DMC? Inutile girarci intorno, tutte noi ricamatrici abbiamo come punto di riferimento i DMC, marca leader nel settore. Le differenze sui colori e sulla qualità non sono tantissime, ho trovato un prodotto di ottima qualità, i colori sono vividi e ben pigmentati, il cotone è resistente, non si sfilaccia e non si deteriora durante l’uso. Resta il dubbio su come reggerà i lavaggi ed il tempo, come polvere e raggi solari, impossibile da stabilire al momento. Quello che invece non ho gradito è che i colori non hanno un numero, cosa che mi rende il lavoro leggermente più complicato. Ho raffrontato i colori arrivati con la tabella DMC ed ho segnato sui cartoncini i numeri a mio parere più somiglianti. Ne ho fatto una lista così potrete vedere a quali colori somigliano rispetto ai DMC. Non sono esattamente uguali, ma simili.I COLORI SOMIGLIANO A: blank, b5200, écru, 151, 169, 209, 307, 310 due pezzi, è il nero, 321, 336, 352, 414, 444, 552, 600, 640, 642, 726, 727, 738 due pezzi simili, 739, 817, 839, 909, 911 , 920, 926 due pezzi simili, 937 due pezzi simili, 959, 3032, 3033, 3041, 3325, 3685, 3722, 3766, 3801, 3805, 3840, 3843, 3852, sfumature in blu e in rosso che ricordano il 93 e il 115, due di colori completamente differenti tra di loro che ricordano i coloris. Sono a mio avviso i colori che più somigliano ai DMC.MI CONVINCONO? Sì, i colori sono belli, anche se ne avrei selezionati altri più vivaci. Non avere il numero a disposizione è una scomodità, sia per ricomprarli, sia per usarli, meglio scrivere un numero su ognuno di essi in modo da non confondersi mentre ricamiamo. Mi sono apparsi di buona qualità, simili ai DMC, ma un gradino al di sotto. Ottimo il prezzo, circa 12 euro per 50 pezzi. Facilissimo il calcolo, circa 24 centesimi a matassina. Non è un set curatissimo, infatti una matassina è sporca di colla trasparente e una parte di filato l’ho dovuta togliere, ma a questo prezzo e qualità è un articolo che ricomprerò.RIASSUMENDO:qualità: 4.5/5colori: 5/5varietà: 4/5PRO: qualità molto soddisfacente, colori vari, ben pigmentato.CONTRO: non ci sono numeri che contrassegnino il colore, una matassina era rovinata con della colla.

super Qualität in sehr schöner Farbpalette!

First of all, I am a novice (beginner) embroiderer. I have gotten through two separate kits both purchased on Amazon and I have purchased the majority of my supplies on this platform too.My introduction is meant to explain that I have experienced what the ideal embroidery floss is - and this is the best cost effective & amount that you will find on Amazon to be able to embroider with. This floss is comparable to regular DMC (what I consider the Holy Grail of floss) and is much better than many of the giant packs of “embroidery/cross stitch/bracelet thread” packs offered on Amazon. It’s not quite DMC value - but the price (50 skeins for $12.99) is better than 80-90 cents per skein before the taxes plus the, shipping and handling fees. You cannot do better for the price & the quality.Second, I really appreciate the color choice I received. As a newer convert to embroidery and cross stitching, I of course don’t have every color and shade of floss available. This is a really good starter set especially if you aren’t sure what pattern or design you will be creating yet. I wish there had been slightly more blues and purples but that’s me being super nitpicky and knowing that I had no idea what colors were going to be in this pack. This floss is the typical 6 thread skein - very easy to separate and divide into the amount of strands desired. If you do not own any thread conditioner, you may want to purchase one. I use a little plastic circular container of beeswax that I run the thread through after separating it because I live in California and we have been hitting over 100 degrees daily. Any floss that arrives through the mail will dry out and become more dry because of that.Third, if you are familiar with multi-colored floss like DMC’s Coloris or any other variegated floss shades, this pack included four skeins of that style (and I was not expecting any variegated shades at all!).This is a complete and honest review: I found it well worth it! I included two pictures above so you can see the shades I received of both the regular skeins and the four variegated ones.

Ottima qualità , peccato non ci siano i codici per poterle convertire in Dmc.
