For me, the best floss. Plus my work.

Embroidery. This is the kind of activity that allows me to relax and unwind. For this I have everything I need. Embroidery kits, supplies of canvas and uniforms, a lot of hoops, a favorite machine, a hoop holder, magazines, paper charts, and even a phone program for downloading charts and working with them. But you can do without all this if you wish and embroider on your hands, as some do. Here, each craftswoman has her own preferences. But none of us can do without floss embroidery threads. I have been embroidering for a very long time. I remember those times when colors were selected by eye from what was available. Now the assortment has become huge, and I have chosen for myself the manufacturer that I like to work with the most. For me, it became Madeira floss. Forgive me, DMC fans, but I just fell in love with madeira. Whereas to dmc just sympathy. To an uninitiated person, it may seem that all embroidery threads are the same. But no matter how. Some species are very confused and during the otshiva are constantly tied with involuntary chaotic knots. Gamma sins with this, I didn’t like the Chinese versions at all: they shamelessly fluff, shed, tie into knots, the thread is not uniform in thickness. Anchor and PNK are rarely seen on sale. Manufacturers dmc apparently decided that all embroiderers are millionaires. Madeira is also not democratic in price, but there is a fabric store within walking distance where your favorite floss costs only 24 rubles, while everywhere it is about 70. Of course, I understand that they will no longer replenish assortment, so I often raid and buy my favorite threads in reserve, delighting the inner hamster. Muline Madeira - German threads. Made from high quality Egyptian cotton. They are great for cross stitch and other types of hand embroidery. They have a silky sheen, smoothness, uniform quality color, without shedding during or after washing. Withstand temperatures up to 95 degrees. Although I have no idea why and for what reasons someone will need to wash embroidery in boiling water. The thread is uniform along its entire length and is the same as the metallized thread of the same manufacturer. So you can make blends. But what I like the most is the packaging. In the blister, pastma is twisted in a spiral (standard of 6 threads). Before starting work, I release the tip and pull out the required length. The remaining pastma remains clean and does not collect dust. Who knows when this shade will be ready next time. The color palette is represented by 369 pure shades, not counting multicolors. In order not to get lost in all this diversity, you can buy a special color card. However, it will not be possible to use it often, since at present designers and programs for gadgets Saga and Cross stith parsdize offer the translation of floss in dmc. At the moment, I have two works at home, completely sewn off with Madeira floss, and the result makes me very happy. "Rainy day". "Cat chef", who will soon go to the framing workshop. The rest is donated. I definitely recommend madeira floss for your work. Create, be inspired, create beauty with your own hands.
