Commonly used embroidery threads for embroidery·Sharing of 3 types of embroidery threads
🧵 (1) French DMC No. 25 pure cotton embroidery thread
🪴DMC embroidery thread: It is the best quality embroidery thread on the market. It has a history of more than 200 years and is the earliest textile manufacturing in Europe. It is used all over the world and is widely welcomed by embroidery enthusiasts. It has various types and rich colors, including pure cotton thread. , thick and thin wool thread, colorful thread, mercerized thread, lace thread, etc., but today I will only share the most commonly used pure cotton thread.
🍃Advantages of embroidery thread: smooth texture, good gloss, uniform thickness, not easy to fade over time, strong and thread-free.
🌱Disadvantages of embroidery thread: 1. The price is more expensive than ordinary embroidery thread (💰3.30/piece). 2. Because its surface texture is smooth, when embroidering fluffy petals, the embroidery surface will be too flat and smooth, and will lose the three-dimensional and fluffy feeling. It will not be so natural. Generally, I will not use this embroidery thread when embroidering large-area pavement petals.
🌿Suitable for people: Embroidery enthusiasts at the intermediate to advanced stage of embroidery who want to pursue the texture of their works and have requirements for color matching.
