DMC Flower Thread
We still sell DMC Flower Thread. We have available for purchase almost 1/2 of the colors DMC made. DMC discontinued the manufacture of their 180 colors of Flower Thread in 2003. We bought the remaining inventory from a large DMC distributor, and offer those colors here for your convenience to purchase while they last. We don't have every color, but we have many of them. If you are looking for a Flower Thread color that is not listed on our website, please email or call us. We do not have any white or ecru flower thread in stock.

Each skein is 20 m / 21.8 yards.
DMC Flower thread is a one strand thread with a soft matte finish. One strand of DMC flower thread is thicker than 2 plies of DMC floss and thinner than 3 plies.
There are lots of things that you can do with flower thread. You can use it for cross stitch, embroidery, knitting, tatting, and crochet. Before the thread was discontinued, several cross stitch designers (such as Curtis Boehringer) used DMC Flower Thread in their patterns.
We encourage you to wrap each skein of thread on a floss bobbin. Flower thread will knot if you pull it directly from the skein. When you wind the thread on a bobbin before using, you solve that problem. Bobbins are NOT included when you order from us.
