I used two strands of DMC stranded cotton /floss on the blocks I posted, and in the five blocks I have done, I have used almost all of one skein already. It seems to eat up more thread than you imagine. Since I only had one skein of the colour I picked ((DMC shade 742) I ordered another 10, because I didn't want to run out in the middle and have to order more. I believe there are 6 yards in each skein. I hope that helps.
