I just got a couple new catalogs yesterday and they both list a new floss from DMC called Light Effects. It is described as a 6-strand metallic and I was wondering if it is similar to the existing line. The color numbers seem to correspond to regular DMC cotton floss numbers where applicable. There appear to be 36 colors in this line. If anyone gets their hands on this stuff, please post a review.
I have a skein of a color called Jewel Effects, which seems very much like the stiff scratchy metallics. Then there are the Fluorescent Effects, which feel more like floss, and Pearlescent Effects, which are also more stiff and scratchy. I haven't yet stitched with any of these.
Where did you seen them Karen? They sound neat!

The threads were in my new herrschners catalog.

I acquired them at Stitch in Time (Reno). Seanette and I snagged one of each they had, which was about a dozen. Now I find there are 3 dozen. Will have to scout out the rest. Weren't at LNS yesterday.
I'll have to see what is around locally, Reno is just a tad far! Cheryl
I saw them at my local Michael's today (July 29th).
Thanks! I hope to stop by there or AC Moore next week! Cheryl
Not if you come visit me on vacation!
