Many years ago the only floss brand available to me was JP Coats, and they do sell Anchor/JP Coats in our local Wal-Mart. I didn't like them as I found they would knot together one end to another in the process of winding the thread at the factory and many times it was only 4 inches of floss between knots. Was disappointing, but that's going back 30 or so years ago, I'm sure their quality control is better now. I did buy some Anchor through Herrschners about a year ago and they also sell DMC floss, plus unknown brands. So both are available to us in NA.
I like silk, have used over dyed floss and found silk can snag very easily whereas cotton doesn't seem to. Vikki Clayton has some lovely silk floss, which I have used, mind you her prices have jumped a lot in the last couple of years. She's in the US and provides colours for a lot of charts out there. I've never used WDW as I have found them to be very pricey!
My local Michaels have most of the DMC colours I need and for good prices so I usually shop there and not wait on Herrschners........ their shipping is not cheap, so if I have the cash I do a big shop so the shipping is worth the cost. |
