Review on Paxcoo 124 Skeins Embroidery Floss Cross Stitch Thread Set with Needles by Barbara Simmons

All Chinese kits are equipped with only these threads. Because I don’t have much choice than to embroider, I really love these sets !! These threads, according to Chinese manufacturers, are a complete analogue of DMS. The numbers fully correspond to the numbering of the VMI. I do not know the composition of these threads, but they are quite soft, pleasant to the touch. When embroidered, they do not get confused, do not create knots, do not tear or fray. When washing, they do not shed, even when I bleached the embroidered pillowcase with a strong enough bleach, they did not shed. In color, they correspond to DMS, there seem to be differences, as the girls say, but I did not notice. Especially for clarity, I took a photo with DMS threads, compare for yourself. They shine less than DMS, but not critical. The thickness corresponds to DMS, Gamma in this case is smaller in thickness, although after Gamma changed, it seems that their threads became thicker. In skeins, also 8 marks, like in DMS. DMS has 2 labels on the skein, top and bottom, CXC has only one in the middle. because of this, some are offended by this, but this moment does not cause any inconvenience to me. In terms of price, these threads are 3-4 times cheaper than VMS, which is why they are popular with embroiderers. I am no exception, I am sorry to spend a lot of money on threads, yet VHI is expensive. More recently, VHI cost 20-25 rubles, and SHS 5-7 rubles for hanks. Due to the growth of the dollar, prices have also risen, in our city VHI costs 35 rubles, and I take SHS in a group on classmates and there the price has risen to 11 rubles for hanks. The difference is 3 times. A simple example: I recently decided to embroider HAEED, there are 90 colors in the picture. if I took DMS threads, then the picture would cost 4,000 thousand, this is taking into account the canvas and the fact that some colors have to be bought in 2 skeins. I bought an CXC, the painting cost me 1500 thousand rubles. You can see for yourself that the difference is significant. So I will continue to embroider with CXC threads, I did not see any cons, there are many pluses, the price is very attractive.
