DMC Stranded Cotton Art 117

Comprised of 6 easily separated strands, this thread allows you to modify your stitches based on how many threads you use. The DMC cottons are made with 100% long staple cotton, double mercerised thread. Colours are washable and fade resistant (variegated colours are shown with a V after their number)

More than that, DMC cottons are reliable. One of their distinct advantages is they are colour fast – you’re less likely to have problems with the colours bleeding. Over-dyed, hand-dyed, and other cottons are not as reliable.
Another advantage is that DMC cottons are widely available and relatively inexpensive.

The 16 colours released in 2013 are hard to come by.
