This was my first time buying this brand and I am very pleased. The feel is soft yet you can feel the strength. It isn't hard on your hands. No tangling or fraying when stitching. When using all 6 strands you get a nice fill. The strands stay together nicely. If you want to use less strands, it separates nicely,
if you go slowly. I wasn't sure about the color varigation within each skein as it is different than I am accustomed to but I'm adjusting. The floss has a nice, very subtle, soft satin sheen. Almost don't notice it at first but it carries the light nicely.
If you need to reorder a color, I found only two of the skeins had numbers.
I will reorder this product when in need.

Fran KeelerVery nice quality

Trish MartinezLove the color
Simone MGood value for a good product, but falls short of DMC quality

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024
In a side by side comparison to a DMC brand Coloris floss (shown in photo), the UMC floss is not quite as smooth, not quite as shiny, and maybe the tiniest bit thinner. That being said, I used this floss alongside DMC floss and it would be hard to determine the difference if you weren’t already aware.
I would purchase this again for more casual crafts, but I’ll remain a DMC snob for larger cross stitch projects.
