DMC Prism Thread Packs (PRCT150XL)

The description is correct but the image is not. The thread came with orange labels instead of blue and do not say Prism as seen in the picture. I believe the thread quality is the same.

I needed many colors for an embroidery project. Thread quality is good. Price was very good! Shipping was fast!!

I enjoy using this thread to make bracelets for myself. The neon colors are nice and bright. I have zero complaints. When I was younger I could only find neon thread in silk and I'd have to mix it with regular thread to get the knots to stay, so this is way more convenient and I haven't noticed any fading yet, I bought this months ago and started using it right away, I think it's been 6 months or more at this point. I had to write a bad review for another product I just bought so I wanted to even it out by leaving a good review for something I enjoy lol

I bought a pack of this six-strand floss because ordering the 8 colors I needed for my project from Hershnerr's would have been foolish. The charge for each skein of DMC floss is only 44 cents, regardless of color. However, the shipping charges added would have about tripled my cost for the DMC Floss. Unlike many others, I have no option to purchase embroidery floss, nor many other craft items in my local stores. Such things are either not carried at all, or the selection is very poor.Neutral:This floss, while not up to DMC standards is also not up to DMC pricing. At the price I paid for this item, my cost breaks down to about 12 cents per skein. Sometimes, you do get what you pay for. The skeins are about 8 meters long, similar the DMC skeins. I was expecting more colors with no duplications, however, in my package, most colors included are represented by two or even three skeins. The included 12 cardboard bobbins are about enough to hold one project's worth of thread.Cons:In examining some DMC floss that I purchased for a different project, I discovered that the six strands you obtain when this floss separates are finer than the DMC floss strands... finer enough that you may want to use three strands of this if the instructions for your project call for two strands of DMC. Another reviewer mentioned that the quality of these skeins makes them unsuitable for mixing this floss and DMC in the same project. I agree; however, I would never, under any circumstances, mix two different brands of floss in the same project. As noted by other reviewers, these colors are neither named nor numbered, which makes selection of your exact colors a bit difficult if you try to go by DMC numbers or color names. You can find colors in dark, medium and light shades of colors somewhere near those listed in DMC project instructions, so all is not lost if you attempt to use this floss.Pros:While this floss isn't quite as shiny as DMC, it is not, as another reviewer claimed, completely dull. It does have a subtle sheen of it's own. It is also not, as a different reviewer said, all in one thick strand. It will separate into six strands as the label claims, and does so without much difficulty. That said, this is a decent alternative for small projects, provided that you only use this floss for the entire project. If you are doing craft projects other than embroidery, such as friendship bracelets, this is a decent alternative for those other uses, at about 1/3 the cost of DMC floss.Recommended for friendship bracelets and other children's crafts, for those just learning embroidery, or, if in desperate need of a small amount of a few colors for a single (small) embroidery project to the extent that shipping would cost more than your thread if purchased from Hershnerr's

Product said 105 skeins. I only got 103 skeins. False advertisement.

I purchased this set because I had a particular color scheme in mind. The colors were softer when I wanted some punch. So I purchased the neon set and I’m pleased! I took a ton of pictures trying to show the colors as they actually are. And how they compare to each other.I threw in some dmc comparison pics, because why not? I’m knocking off a star for being bad fakers “dmc”.

Not the exact quality of DMC but still a great thread and the neon responds to a black light! Very cool and has a lot of spools. I’ll definitely be buying again.

These colors add pizzazz to any project. I added a few to some baby bibs for great results. Imagine these in flowers!!!

This pack's listing states 36 skeins of variegated threads, meaning each skein is of a variegated style, (meaning multi coloured) in actual fact, only 13 of the 36 are variegated thread! The rest are plain colours, which I have plenty of! And the 13 in the pack, there are only 5 colours! 3 of each blue mix, orange /yellow mix, pink mix & purple mix! There is one skein of a black/white/grey mix. Also the listing also says DMC. These are NOT genuine DMC threads, but cheap knock offs... But I guess you get what you pay for.....

Really pleased with this pack.I had to take a gamble as it wasn't completely clear what was in it, hence all the attached photographs to my review.They're wonderful colours. 18 variegated and 18 plain. All compliment each other really well. Seem good quality and not a terrible price at just over £4.

These skeins aren't very good quality for embroidery, they're very scratchy and pull the fabric. The colour is lovely and can be used if you persevere.

Great for friendship bracelets, though probably not for more proffessional uses. However, this was incredibly well-priced and would have happily paid more for what I got. Has three skeins of each colour, although I was missing a pink and only had 35 skeins, I'm not too bothered since there is still plenty of thread to use.

I purchased this thread because I loved the colours. I wanted to make friendship bracelets with it. This thread is so coarse and string-like it is almost impossible to make the knots with it. Unfortunately I bought several packs (not all from the same seller), but will not be buying any more. Dreadful stuff (at least for my purpose)
