Kathleen Granger: This was a replacement for one that I received with a broken hinge. It is perfect! Thanks to the company for the fast replacement and patience. Please ignore the previous review of this product.

Catherine: This is a good product for beginners like me, but it is frustrating that the colors don't come properly organized by colors, and there are only 4 purples compared to the ~14 blues, ~20 pink/reds, and ~23 greens. There is also no dark red which ended up being disappointing when there's so many reds. The package also is slightly too small for all the thread so I suggest taking out the dividers for more room since they will break anyway and you will probably want to reorganize the whole thing yourself.

Pete G: Although it is listed as a DMC brand string, this is NOT DMC string.
It is still pretty good quality, however, but not as good as DMC string. There were so many beautiful colors provided for such a low price, so I still recommend this product for anyone who enjoys making friendship bracelets like me.
The beads and tools are pretty useless and ugly, save for some of the needles. However, for such a low price this is a pretty good deal. There are a lot of brands of friendship bracelet string that breaks when you try to tie knots, but this brand is strong and beautiful.
A 100 pack of DMC brand string is around 55 dollars, while there are 100 colors, beads, tools, and more in this pack for closer to 30 dollars. I highly recommend this product for someone who is not specific about what kind of string they prefer for their crafting. I usually like to use DMC string, but I have made a few bracelets with this string and they have turned out great.

Stephanie Marek: I am happy with this product overall, but I realize now I didn't read the fine print and it's not genuine DMC floss. It's semantics, but the product name says "DMC color" not "DMC brand." This is even explained by the seller in the Q&A section. Then if you scroll down to the product description it says, "Each floss has a silky appearance made of cotton polyester..." That right there also tells you it's not genuine DMC, because DMC six-strand floss is 100% long staple cotton.

That being said, I bought this kit to resume the hobby of making friendship bracelets after a good 25 year hiatus. I've made several bracelets exclusively from it and they came out beautifully. It was only when I went to replenish some of the colors and I ordered individual skeins directly from DMC that I realized a difference. The colors ARE a good match, and the numbers printed on the bobbins in this kit correspond to the same colors of DMC. But what really lead me to investigate further was that the texture seemed very different. The floss in this kit is more soft and plush. DMC is more crisp. I tried to photograph this but the sensor on my phone camera is not really able to pick it up. In person...

Katrien Van Lerberghe: I received the embroidery kit quickly , faster than I expected . The kit contains a range of colors , all neatly winded on a card . I measured one of them : 9 and a half meters . The normal DMC embroidery that I usually buy in the shop is 8 meters . I then did the ' bleeding ' test : I cooked some clean water and dropped a length of red floss in it . I let it boil a bit , then put it on a clean white cloth . After it was dry I lifted it : no bleeding on the cloth . I still need to do the washing machine test ,( with some embroidery on white cloth ) but for now I'm over the moon with the result . Value for money ? Absolutely . A hundred colors for the price of six from the shop : that is good value in my book . Of course, you can't choose your colors . Some are not in the box for the project I have in mind . I wonder if there are ' themed ' boxes to be had , like all kinds of green with some yellow , white and back . Or all blues and so on . I would definitely buy those . There are also beads and ribbons in the box , but I don't need those for this project , maybe I'll be glad of those later . I'll be buying more of these boxes , I think .

L. Mcclain: I am a self taught and amateur embroiderer who remembers when DMC Floss was quite affordable. I have a similar plastic container full of floss that I wound and labeled years ago. This, my friends, is much easier. Especially if you are just beginning or do not have perfections your goal, I cannot see any reason not to order and use this product. The floss feels fine, not as high quality, perhaps, as DMC, but fine. The color selection is quite good- weak in the purple hues, very prolific in the greens, quite a variety of reds. Blues are adequate; all marked with DMC color numbers so that you can replace the floss as necessary. Quite a good deal.
