This dazzling, versatile thread can be used for a variety of techniques-from cross-stitch to needlepoint to all types of embroidery and creative stitchery. The Light Effects threads work wonderfully when used in combination with cotton DMC Embroidery Floss, since both strands are the same thickness. You can add a subtle highlight to your stitching by combining one strand of cotton Floss with one strand of Light Effects. Or for a more vibrant look, you can substitute Light Effects for its matching shade in cotton DMC Floss, since they have a corresponding color numbering system. This will result in a bolder sparkle in your project. DMC Metallic Floss, a polyester metallic and viscose blend, is washable, dry cleanable and resistant to tarnish.
