I love DMC but I can't ever find it in the large bundles anymore, but I basically buy the bundle packs of like 150 from michaels it's Loops and Threads or something like that.

Is yarn suitable for alpha bracelets?

@03Louise yarn works, but it doesn't hold and the patterns come out larger (since yarn is waaaay thicker)

@Margaron I'm not sure that it is near you but Joann's fabrics has packs of like 16 DMC floss

I got a box of my Mom's old DMC floss a few years ago, then received loops and thread last x-mas. Recently, though, I've been just getting string from my local dollarama because I really can't afford better string :/

@irocks321 I don't believe they have Joann's fabrics in Canada, at least I've never seen one...

I'm not 100% sure but someone told me once that Walmart has DMC so maybe look there? I've bought the loops and threads as well and it's pretty good 🙂

I bought a bundle from ebay for £8 (don't know what that is in dollars) with 100 skeins. There were some bad colours but loads of nice colours as well.

I will never use Prism again, the one time I bought a $15 pack of 100 skeins and every single color I tried, the thread broke.
