DMC embroidery floss
I have been to 3 stores to buy 44 different colors of DMC embroidery floss. Wal Mart had not even one of my colors; Hobby Lobby had only 3; and Hancock Fabrics has gone out of business. Can anyone tell me where to go to find these threads?

You can buy DMC floss here at Everything Cross Stitch.

You can buy floss from here at ECS, where it is $.49 cents a skein. Or you could try hershnerrs.com, where I believe it is for $.44 a skein. Or if you want a physical store, there is Joann's too. I don't know what the cost is from there, but with a coupon you could probably get a sweet deal. And I heard that Michael's sells floss for $.39 a skein! I hope you can find what you need:-)

The Michael's near me sells floss for 42 cents.

If you are a first time customer on this site sign up for their newsletter. That will entitle you to a 20% discount. That brings the cost of skein of floss from $0.49 to $0.39. Yes, there will be a shipping charge. Shipping is reasonable and you will get everything that you need at one time.

I'm not an employee -- just a stitcher giving my opinion

Walmart and Michel's in my area of paradise--N E Ohio has very limited selection of DMC floss-- mainly basic colors but I have found that our Joann's have better selection/variety I purchase from Joann's only if I need a skein to finish a project I may have run out of--otherwise I prefer ECS.

My wife is a cashier for Walmart , she seems to think they are getting out of the thread business as well as sewing supplies in stores that show slow sales in these departments--again that bottom line thinking.

I too have the stores listed and I do love ecs but you could try DMC website as well. Good Luck

ECS has decent prices for DMC floss, and they are good about listing out-of-stock colors. And the shipping prices are reasonable, too. I also buy from a competing site that sells the Zweigart linen I like, and for a couple of skeins, from my local needlepoint shop.

If you are buying 44 colors, you'll get a good price online even with the shipping. Look for a place that sells it for about 50 cents/skein or less and charges postage based on weight.

WalMart stopped selling DMC floss for several years, but our store is back to selling it again. I try to keep a list in my shopping cart here at ECS, so when I order a chart or material, I order the floss too. I don't have a Joanne's, Michael's or Hobby Lobby close. So when we go to Springfield, IL or Quincy, IL or Peoria, IL, I take my list and fill it.

You would save gas money if you bought on line (and maybe a headache)...just a thought.
