DMC Thread E155 is called Light Effects - Metallic Floss Amethyst.
DMC Light Effects Thread glimmers with a metallic shimmer. It's made from 100% polyester fibres and will give your project a gorgeous twinkle. The thread consists of six size-25 easily separated strands. Use it on its own or combine it with a strand of cotton floss for a touch of sparkle.
For the best stitching experience with DMC Light Effects Thread, work with a shorter length of thread (try 12 inches). It will help keep the fibres fresh and prevent fraying. If the thread becomes twisted while stitching, drop the needle and let it unwind itself.
DMC Cotton Embroidery Floss, made from long-staple cotton and double mercerized for a brilliant sheen, is the most recommended floss in the world. This premium thread is made up of six size-25 easily separated strands, which allows you to customize the thickness of the thread by choosing the number of strands. DMC Embroidery Floss is 100% colourfast and fade-resistant.
To separate the floss's strands, take your skein and find the tail that sticks out from the side of the skein that shows the DMC number. Pull the tail out from the skein slowly until you have an 18" length of floss and cut it off. If you'd like to separate the thread into individual strands, pull one strand up and out slowly until it's fully separated from the others.
Care and Washing: DMC Embroidery Floss can be washed frequently without fading. It can be washed at a high temperature (95° C/203° F). Be sure to pay attention to the washing instructions on the fabric on which the thread was embroidered.
