She does have the Presencia floss, though, which I highly recommend. As a previous reader said, it has a silky feel, gorgeous rich colors, and is beautifully lustrous. Far superior to either DMC or Anchor. The colors one would use for Caucasian skintones are so natural - the absolute best -, and a palette that neither of the others offers.Cindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686273156594002956.post-20775633270515547632016-09-15T09:00:49.939-04:002016-09-15T09:00:49.939-04:00Thanks.

They carry the full lines of the #8 and #12 Finca. They also carry a wonderful cotton floss, Cosmo, which you need to try if you haven't. The color families frequently have runs of 7 or 8 different shades, some more, some less. The 442 colors are rich, and the feel of this cotton is very silky. I find it far superior to DMC, and it doesn't cost that much more than DMC costs in a needlework shop. (It's way more than a Michael's or AC Moore charges for DMC though.) Really, though, there's no comparison between Cosmo and DMC. If you have the time for a road trip sometime, it's worth it to see all the Finca and Cosmo in real life.Sara Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257302421725766079noreply@blogger.com
