Based on a recent thread, I suppose I should stick to brand name threads. Where do you all usually go to buy your DMC threads? I know Walmart sells them at 30 cents per skein (bundle? sorry, I'm new with the terminology). I've also seen them sell for bulk on Ebay, but I'm not sure if I'll be getting the authentic product.

1 more thing, on Ebay I try to stick to buying from individuals or the U.S. Canada, England. ;-)  Post time 2014-3-28 05:25

You can get some good deals on Ebay though and if it has the DMC label, most times it is. It just may be an older thread, wwhich is fine if it's been stored properly. Just calculate the cost a skein.  Post time 2014-3-28 05:23

I actually started my floss collection by finding a HUGE lot at a local thrift store.  If you are okay with the notion that they probably belonged to Great Aunt Maud (who is no longer with us) you can sometimes find great deals thrift shopping.  I ended up getting somewhere in the range of 50-60, already wound, skeins (and mostly whole ones at that) for $10 and the best part was that they were already the most popular colours.  Even came in a floss box.
