DMC Light Effects is shiny, six stranded thread, presented in 8 metre skeins, like the familiar and much loved Mouline stranded cotton.
Light Effects creates incredible textures and effects in your stitching, but has a rep for being a bit of a nightmare to work with. For this reason, I strongly recommend you invest in some floss tamer, like our soy variety - it really does help tame the beast! I also recommend working in shorter lengths and with good light. All this said, I really quite enjoy working with it and love the little extra pizazz it brings to cross stitch and embroidery.
I also stock a range of DMC Mouline Stranded Cotton and DMC Mouline Etoile (cotton with sparkles) skeins.
Not found what you're looking for? I stock a good range of DMC cotton floss at Treacle Towers and am regularly adding new shades to the mix. If you'd like to order a shade that's not listed, please let me know, as I may have it unlisted, or be able to add it to my stock.
Shipping:
All orders are shipped second class in the UK within the shipping time specified on the listing. I typically ship on Monday or Tuesday only (allowing for Bank Holidays) due to family and care commitments. If you need something rushed, please contact me before placing an order so that I can confirm whether it's possible to get it shipped sooner.
I avoid single use plastics wherever possible and the majority of orders ship in paper or card based containers, recycled wherever possible. Any plastic-based mailers used are done so with careful consideration to make sure your order reaches you safely. These mailers are recyclable with biodegradable additive because I care greatly about the planet, and I encourage you to reuse them wherever possible.
