Review on 122 Skeins of Embroidery Floss Thread for Cross Stitch, Hand Embroidery, and String Art - Friendship Bracelet String by Kristen Reid

Now I am doing the most common type of needlework, such as cross-stitching. I create the schemes myself, since the schemes presented by the manufacturers are not interesting for me. The author's schemes are too pretentious and there are too many single crosses in them. But the price of even sets, even author's schemes, is too high. The most key moment of embroidery is the selection of floss threads, which put me in a stupor. From my mother, I got Kirov's PMK threads from ancient times, but the palette contains many shades of blue, light blue and purple. I was puzzled by the search for an alternative. I opted for Bestex floss, as buying DMC floss is expensive. Yes, and it is problematic to purchase a DMC palette in our area. Buying 100 skeins in a set was not expensive: I did not find any information about such sets and risked purchasing this set in the online store. However, I was not very happy with my purchase. The colors selected in this set turned out to be duller and darker in reality. The palette does not sparkle with bright colors: In the presented color cards of the Bestex palette on the Internet, I did not meet shades with the following symbols: It is the shades with this numbering that make up the majority. The threads are also numbered like this: There are colors and series A ... In general, the manufacturer made a mix. This set contains the following shades of purple: Greens are in trouble. But, I will use them in my other projects in the future, and I'm not too upset, although I would like to see brighter shades. The blue ones are darker and there are not many of them: As a gift, the manufacturer put in a set of metallized floss gold and silver: Which is a nice bonus. So, I will definitely use this floss. Do I recommend buying? Yes.
