Alternative thread to DMC

Xanatos

There are cheaper options avalable but it may not give the same finish as dmc.  AS already suggested ebay is a good place to search

I really like using Anchor threads - so it maybe a good alternative to try

DMC (and Anchor) is too expensive for me :(  than I use Rosace threads. Colour range is same than DMC, and conversion is very easy: Rosace colour number equal DMC colour number double ( for example DMC 310= Rosace 620 ) the thread qualitys not bad, too :)  I like it :D

If you think DMC is expensive, try looking at brands like Gentle Arts - over $2/skein.  50 cents per skein is not bad.

I agree! Ive also found good thread at yard sales. Id rather pay for DMC than some of the less expensive brands, personally. I havent dabbled much yet with the Gentle Arts and other specialty threads, although I think theyre beautiful!
