On Amazon you can search for bulk thread. Usually, you can find a variety of brands but I have yet to find DMC in bulk quantities sold by DMC. 🙂

Thanks! I haven’t gotten the best thread off of the bulk packs sadly, they have came knotted and very rough feeling, hard to make bracelets out of. I wish the had DMC in bulk

le paon is a pretty good brand. i have one tip though, make sure you get 100% cotton thread. i accidentally ordered a huge back of black and white thread, but it is a polyester-cotton blend and it makes knots thicker than Cotton thread. i use it as base strings for my alphas though so it’s fine. also i recommend steering clear of the brand prism, if you make your knots super tight like me. they do have some pretty good multicolored thread, but that brand always seems to snap on me

I ordered a pack of 150 skeins for £13 on Amazon and the quality is great! The brand is called TICIOSH and the color variety is great 😊

@lemondrink i have got a 107 pack of dmc from hobby lobby. they dont sell them at micheals so i think hobby lobby may be your best bet. or you can go and see if theres a dmc website and maybe get them off there!

@cam44 You can buy them in bulk on Amazon. I bought a bunch of string from there, and they've worked really well for me! I bought the brand Colored Bird

I have been using the thread in https://www.amazon.com/Embroidery-Colorfull-Friendship-Bracelet-Transparent/dp/B0845NDMQL/ref=sr_1_37?crid=1YZYD941JD11V&dchild=1&keywords=embroidery+floss&qid=1593877837&sprefix=Embroidery+floss%2Caps%2C388&sr=8-37 It’s very soft, and it says its dmc, but i aint too sure 😐 I have been using it for a few weeks, and its been great! It’s very soft and silky feeling, so no worries about it being itchy and such 😄 It pills and frays very little, i sometimes undo knots with a pin, and even if it seperates a little, just run it through your finger once or twice, and it should be good. It has a lot of neutral colors, ten bobbins of white, black, light beige, grey, and dark brown, which i found very nice. The case isnt super nice, a fair amount of reviews said it arrived broken, but mine shipped to the philippines, and it was fine, but the dividers are a bit flimsy so keep that in mind when stuffing it with thread. It doesnt come with orange tho, which i find a major color miss, and teal, but the pros outweigh the cons to me. I dont recommend using however https://www.amazon.com/PAON-Embroidery-100-Long-Staple-Cotton-Friendship-Contains12/dp/B07FSCZMH5/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2FD3MYY69DEBS&dchild=1&keywords=embroidery+floss+variegated&qid=1593878363&sprefix=embroidery+floss+varie%2Caps%2C447&sr=8-2 Its not good quality, its rough and feels itchy, and frays, like all the time. Undo your knots with a pin, and the strands will be seperated forever 🙁 It also tangles SO much more than the one above. The variegated colors are okay, the color change is a bit slow, but im not anexpert in that field. It does not have color numbers, so like that one shade of blue? You will probs have to buy it again to get the exactcolor. The bobbins are very bad quality. Also i found bulk dmc, havent tried it yet tho, and its pretty darn expensive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CS1R1U/ref=sr_1_7?crid=2FD3MYY69DEBS&dchild=1&keywords=embroidery+floss+dmc&qid=1593878775&sprefix=embroidery+floss+varie%2Caps%2C447&sr=8-7 For variegated stuff, here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DEG4QQ/ref=sr_1_12?crid=2FD3MYY69DEBS&dchild=1&keywords=embroidery+floss+dmc&qid=1593878870&sprefix=embroidery+floss+varie%2Caps%2C447&sr=8-12 Haha, sorry, ik its long |

@AG13 I’ll look at colored bird, I ordered from amazon once and didn’t get the best results of thread, think it was a different brand though.
