So now I have quite a lot. I now only buy 2 or 3 skeins at a time so I don't think a price increase will effect me much, but I wouldn't be able to afford to buy a whole projects worth at once.colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979234789965049533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312158.post-68320783806256435602018-10-14T10:28:07.027-07:002018-10-14T10:28:07.027-07:00Try Sullivan's.

Someone told me it was made in America, but I haven't confirmed that. It is about 39 cents in my LQS.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064129372930669591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312158.post-24628927335316257972018-10-14T10:01:20.374-07:002018-10-14T10:01:20.374-07:00Michelle,

It was by Lily Mills Company in Shelby, NC. I was making a gift and wanted a floss with a slight sheen to it and got some Mardi Gras colors. It was a delight to work with. Don't remember how much I paid for it, but was happy. The other floss in my collection is JP Coats. I don't do as much cross-stitching as you nor on such beautiful canvases, but have not had any problems with either of these, when I didn't have the correct DMC color. Good luck on finding those sales. I see them all the time here, but don't buy since I have plenty for my lifetime.Dar in Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151634639646196636noreply@blogger.com
