DMC cotton 6 strand floss is an embroidery thread for cross-stitch, hand embroidery, visible mending, and decorative stitching projects. Each skein includes 8 m (8.75 yd) of yellow thread for accents, lettering, borders, motifs, and detail work on fabric and needlework designs. Use it to build colour into craft, sewing, and embroidery patterns, and match shades carefully before starting larger projects that require consistent colour placement.
