ANCHOR OR DMC FLOSS?

sassypants

Get some thread heaven, that should help from what I hear.  To me, the weeks was rougher and knotted easier.

Some folks on other forums use DMC for the most part but like Anchor Black (403) since it seems to cover better than DMC. I have some Anchor black to try in my next project to see how I like it. 123stitch has Anchor if you ever order from them.

I ordered some Anchor with some over-dyes to try on a few smaller projects. I have a lot of DMC from years ago, so I will always use that to a degree. Please let me know what you think of the Anchor Black (403)

Ive always found DMC black to be a bit lacking in color.

It looks like many of them in my experience have a richer color, I think however the colors may vary more than DMC or Anchor?
