Cosmo sparkle embroidery floss?
I just ran across sparkle floss on someone's blog...i would love to try it out on my Snowman A-z project. My LQS does not carry it-JAF, Hobby Lobby , etc are all 40 minutes away...before i start driving, does anyone know if this is available in the big bix stores? Seems silly to pay shipping on one skein of floss! Thanks!

I think I saw it at JA's a few months back. limited colors. call them and see if they have it.

I think Joann's would have it…I think I've seen it at Michael's as well. As I recall, it's kind of stiff and scratchy. What color were you thinking about? White for snow?
|
I looked on JAF and michaels we sites-i don't see it at either store. I would like white or silver just to use as a cents... I am using a blending filament, and thought the sparkle floss would be easier to thread on the needle! :)

I have seen sparkly floss at Super Walmart. They call it Metallic or Light effects but not the brand Cosmo. DMC and J&P Coats brand.
another option you can consider are some of the specialty threads from superior like the Holographic ones. Some on line stores will give you a break on shipping for smalls like thread. Brand names for some of these are Razzle Dazzle and Glitter from Superior YLI makes one called candlelight |
Thank you, Feline....I will look at the DMC's....I emailed a few online retailers, and the least expensive shipping offered for one skein of floss was $1.90......really? I am pretty sure it would fit in a regular ole envelope with a stamp! :)
(Yes, I realize someone has to pull the floss and address the envelope, etc, still, seems rather high to me) |
I made a frozen quilt for my grand daughter and I used sparkley thread in my embroidery machine for the snow flakes. It wasn't embroidery thread. Think it was guterman's
