I'm curious what brand of string is your favorite to work with. I was just given a few "Assorted Colors" boxes of generic thread as a surprise from my mom when I started getting into bracelets again, but I haven't worked with much string except the giant spools of stuff that I used to use at camp.

If I use embroidery floss use Prism. For Hemp I use Loops and Threads. I find them both at Michaels. I like to use both. When I started making bracelets I used embroidery floss but recently I realized that I never really used hemp so I have both right now.

I too don't like Prism floss or any brand of craft thread. I like to use Iris or DMC floss the most. You may have Anchor in your area which is also good.

I use Iris since it's the one I usually find. Michael's is too far away from my house.

DMC for sure. Whenever I use Prism it always breaks on me. And if you get DMC at WalMart it's cheaper!

DMC embroidery floss is the BEST! 😉 you can find DMC cotton in every spotlight, cuz it's the string you use for cross stitchng. I should know cuz my mum has like six or seven boxes of DMC thread!LOL😛

I use Anchor and Duchess, they work great for me and have never snapped - so far.I have a few Moonbrand threads laying about but I think those are poor quality and I wouldn't recommend them, they fray very often and break. |

Prism breaks for me. I ended up giving it to my 7-year-old sister, who just akes stuff on her own. Not these bracelets. So far, Iris is my favorite. And if I'm not mistaken, Artiste is by Iris. Artiste you get to choose your own colors, like you can with DMC, but cheaper. That's why I buy the packages. They're currently on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $10.00, instead of $17.00, so I bought the last to 150 skeins, and one 105 skein packages. I'm now overloaded. Hey, I like to stock up 😉 Sorry, that was very drawn out. Basically, I like Iris. Pretty. Good quality. Done 🙂

Now I confess. Prism broke on me so I will see how DMC works it might've been just a bad color so I will experiment on it. I hope DMC works cuz I bought a good amount of it today so I Eileen see what happens and if I remember then put what happened on this forum )

DMC is my fave 'cause it only costs like 30 cents! Plus I really love neon colors and some of their neons are cheap...

I have used DMC for years. (Like 20 or so, LOL!) I also use Iris and Prism. I don't get the breaking that everyone seems to get with Prism. Of course, now that I've said that, I bet all of the ones I've started with Prism will have breaks!
