Embroidery Thread, 100% Cotton, 50 x Assorted Coloured Skeins by Flissy

Going off the reviews already posted, it is obvious that you pay your (very little) money, and you take your chances with what turns up. At under 6p a skein, I'm willing to take that gamble again and again, to build up as wide a rainbow of floss as I possibly can.This first batch had a very good range, some exceedingly bright yellows, oranges, and reds. Some glorious green and purple. A nice variety of pink and brown. And one blue. A lovely shade, but kinda lonely all by himself. I'm hoping the next batches I have coming will bring him some similarly tinted friends. I left at least a week between orders in the hopes that stock flows fast enough that there'll be a whole new selection of shades available when it comes time to pick my new bundle(s).As you can see if you zoom in, there are at least 6 different labels represented in this bundle. Also 5 or 6 pairs of matching skeins, tho as there were actually 54 in the parcel, I still feel I came out ahead on the deal. And two of those pairs (the vibrant yellow, and one of the orange tones) each had skeins that were identical in shade, while each twin wore a different label and number.If the floss fairy is reading this, I'd really appreciate some more lush greens and a nice wide selection of blues, but purples are always very welcome too! ;)ETA: The second lot I ordered has arrived, and the floss fairy obliged me with a good selection of blues, and a wide variety of other colours and shades.ETA2: 3rd lot has arrived, and while the orange-yellow section of the spectrum is severely under-represented, it's still a wide variety, no duplicates, and I am very happy with what I got.

This thread came 3 weeks earlier than it stated so pleased. The colours were great but lots of green. Only one black and one white BUT brilliant value. The second photo shoes one I bought from craft shop and one from this bunch. Both exactly the same. They split up well for embroidery. I love them. I would just have got 2 for the price of 50 of these. Well chuffed. Everywhere else sold out atm due to virus. Keep safe and busy ♡♡♡

I agree with what a lot of people have said in that the colours aren't as vibrant as shown in the picture and I hate to say it for some reason the pictures I have taken of the threads I received make them even look even duller than they actually are BUT the colours and colour mixes I got are right up my alley, I much prefer this more earthy colour pallet and lets face it at £1.50 (it's gone up slightly since I ordered mine) an absolute bargain. The thread itself is lovely and soft cotton and the threads easily separate.Obviously not sure if they will be colour fast or won't fade over time but if I was working on a project that I would need to wash often or I wanted to keep for a lifetime I would buy the branded threads. These I'm keeping for practice embroidery and also to use for pieces that if the colour fades, runs etc it doesn't matter. If you're new to Xstitching or embroidery or has a child that wants to learn they're perfect.For this price and the colours I've just placed an order for 2 more which is going to save me having to use my DMC threads for other projects.

Having tried many brands of other threads from cheap to expensive, these are one of the best ones I had.The plethora of colours that come with this purchase is amazing. It has every shade of every colour you might need. The colours are vibrant but not to the extent of being extremely bright and unusable in most art projects or crafts. When I opened the package so many variations came out I was surprised and didn't know where to start!The thing with cheaper threads is that if you apply too much pressure, they would split and tear apart during the process. Having used these I have not experienced this so far. So this is what makes it a winner for me.They have the premium feel you would get with the most expensive brands. Soft and shiny threads are the proof of this.This purchase was perfect in terms of quality and price to what I needed. Absolutely recommended to anyone buying embroidery threads. Will be buying these for my next projects.Extremely satisfied.

Very impressed to be honest

Quality isn't great, however I only cross stitch for a hobby, so considering the price, the amount you get, you can't complain to be honest.There's a range of colours, I wish they had included more yellow, orange, black and grey but I don't mind much. They arrived well before the estimated time.Considering the price, you can't expect amazing quality and I think people who have given this low rating haven't taken that into consideration, however if this is more than a hobby for you, maybe this ain't the product for you.

I used this thread for the web part of dream catchers. It is good value for money. However I had to wait several days beyond expected delivery. The quality is not the best. I have used DMC cotton perle before and this is not DMC quality.

Good quality silk thread - super colours
