Choose embroidery thread
Generally speaking, the type and number of embroidery thread will be marked on the formal embroidery drawings. Buy a cross according to the comments Embroidery thread is no problem.
Some semi-finished sets even provide cross-stitch thread in addition to embroidery pictures. But sometimes embroidery friends still want to choose their favorite cross stitch thread.
According to the cross stitch thread brands produced by different manufacturers, you will generally come into contact with DMC thread (made in France), QS (domestic and once processed by DMC), CMC thread (domestic), Anchor thread (made in Germany) , Olympus line (made in Japan) and so on. Due to the quality of DMC's embroidery thread, almost all drawings will be marked with the corresponding DMC thread number.
There are conversion tables between different cross-stitch thread brands to facilitate purchase by embroidery friends. But in reality, we will also find that there will be a small amount of color difference between cross-stitch threads corresponding to different brands, which seems to be inevitable. Due to financial constraints, it is impossible for every embroidery friend to buy different brands of cross stitch thread at the same time, especially for long-term embroidery friends.
From a professional point of view: the requirement for good embroidery thread is 100% long-staple cotton, which requires high strength, that is to say, more than 1400 strength, less hairiness, good stripe feel, and bright luster (very color). The price of authentic DMC thread is 1.6 euros per meter. That is to say, the colors on the Chinese market are basically imitations of the colors on the DMC color card. Personally, I feel that the Zhongba cross stitch thread produced by Hengchang Group is better, but it is a pity. Rarely seen online!
