Hello, I am starting a project for the birth of my first grandchild and it has been quite a few years since I have stitched anything. I see at Walmart I can get DMC floss for 30 cents a skein, but they do not carry all of the colors I need. Does anyone know of any websites that I can get DMC floss for close to this price? The cheapest one I have found so far is 42 cents. Thank you so much!

    Personally I do not care how much I pay for DMC since it takes just a few skeins to finish a piece. I purchase mine at either Michaels or AC Moore. Sometimes there is a sale at 4/$1.00 but usually I pay 30 cents. Go to top

      There is a wonderful cross stitch shop in Farmington Hills, MI (northwest Detroit suburbs). I always make a point to stop there whenever I go "home" for a visit. Last time I was there they had DMC floss 3/$1.

      I know that they have a website

      www.therockinghorse.com


      ALSO - if you have JoAnne's or Michael's nearby watch for their coupons You may be able to get 25% or 30% on an entire purchase.

      Aside from that you might make yourself a little crazy (or maybe a lot crazy) trying to save yourself five or ten cents per skein. There are rarely decent sales on cross stitch any more. Go to top

      I just saw a coupon on Joanne's website for 20% off your entire purchase. That would bring the cost of floss down to 32 cents per skein. Michaels will also honor this coupon. Do you have either of these stores close to you? Go to top
