DMC Satin Floss, sold in 8.7 yard/8 meter skeins, is the glossiest stranded embroidery floss. The intense color, shine and silky texture comes from its 100% rayon fibers that glide through fabric easily. Its six strands separate easily — add depth and fine details to your work by varying the number of strands you use. Colorfast dyes ensure your work can be washed at 30℃ without fear of the color fading or bleeding; dyes are also highly fade-resistant so your needlework can be enjoyed for generations to come.
