Hi Jess, well done on 1000 subscribers. Love your channel (and your mum's), all your projects, and your noisy cat! I know you and Tanya do a lot of projects with cxc threads. Do either of you have any projects that need the new dmc numbers. Do you have a preferred substitute for them, or do you use dmc threads in these cases? I'd really welcome your opinion. Thanks.
Hi, Thankyou. We do have a few projects that have the new colours in them and while going to the DMC is an option for those specific colours I wouldn’t recommend it. We tend to go for the AMO threads which are very similar to the CXC. I wouldn’t recommend going to DMC for those specific colours because CXC is a little thicker and fluffs up a little more, they also have a slightly different shine so you may notice a difference. Interestingly while there is a right and wrong direction for DMC; there isn’t for either CXC and AMO threads. Which can make things a bit simpler
Thankyou for your swift reply. Thought you might be in bed! No idea what time it is for you. I've never mixed brands but other than substitute I didn't know how to overcome the problem, as I wanted to use cxc as it's 22ct and the coverage is perfect. Interesting that AMO (not come across them before) do the new numbers. I'm UK so will need to look for suppliers here. Thanks again.
