No, I'm afraid I'll have to say no! I hand-washed one of the pieces and had no issues with the colors bleeding.
Every color has a variety of shades. There is one of each color, but blues and greens are the most common.
Yes, each skein was a different color, and because that's how I read the description, I ordered two deals and was lucky enough to get the same colors in both, but when I ordered another two deals, they were completely different. I'm completely satisfied with the result, though I would have preferred more of the basic primary colors.

When I received the skiens, they were packed in a plastic bag, just like some of the other people who bought it. When I first saw it, I was concerned that the floss would be tangled and knotted inside, but because the threads are silky, none of the skiens were tangled or knotted when I removed them. As you can see in the second picture, some of the lables that hold the skiens together were not well glued, so a few came undone and threads were loose. As you can see in the second picture, about eight threads came out of the package like this. I was buying 100 threads for $5, so I expected something to be done cheaply, so I wasn't surprised or upset by the way the items were delivered. br>I will say that the image used to promote this product did not match what I received, and it is most likely outdated. That is not to say I was dissatisfied with the colors I received; in fact, I was quite pleased with them. However, there was no accurate representation of the colors you will receive. I know someone included a photo of them in their review, but it wasn't very clear, so I'll attach a photo of the entire set that I took in case it helps future buyers. When it comes to the actual threads, the set gives you a lot of bang for your buck. The floss is the perfect balance of corse and silkiness, making it perfect for both embroidery and bracelet making. The threads do not easily separate or fray, which is great for bracelets but not so great for sewing. Each skein is approximately 24 feet long, ensuring that the thread lasts a long time. br>The set includes a variety of colors to work with, ensuring that no two colors are repeated. Despite the fact that a repeat would be nice for colors like black and white, the set does include several off-the-beaten-path options. Off-whites and whites The problem appears to be manageable to blacks. br>I'm not sure about you, but when I buy thread sets, the variety of colors is very important to me, and this set really hit the mark. Most sets consist of a slew of bright neon colors, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that this one had a lot more muted tones. As you can see in the photo, the color palette has a lot of variety, with a wide range of blues, greens, and pinks to choose from. The set did a good job of providing in-between tones; as you can see in my photo, it was relatively simple to create gradients between each color, which is something I enjoy working with in my bracelets. That being said, the set is fairly heavy on greens and tans, with about 24 and 17 of each. Meanwhile, there are only two purples and about three oranges, which is a little inconvenient but not disastrous. br>There are a few flaws in the overall product, but the quality of the embroidery floss more than compensates for them, especially given the low price, so I will most likely purchase these again.
Could've been a whole lot better! I wasn't thrilled with how it was crammed into the package for the most part. It arrived exactly as shown in the first photo! A mess. It came out of the bag looking exactly like that. , in the form of a one-time payment For that reason alone, I give it four stars. You can straighten it out without too much difficulty if you work with it and have patience. I'm used to the floss I buy being organized in a neat manner within the package, but not this time! It wasn't terrible, but it was bad enough that putting it in numerical order took longer than usual. That's right, I'm one of them. They're all in ziplock bags and ready to be threaded onto floss bobbins in the second photo. All I have to do now is apply the number stickers to the floss bobbins. I use DMC numbers, but I highlight them with a different color to distinguish them from generic floss. I knew they weren't DMC Floss from the beginning. They say it all with the image they post. I'm not sure why people who order this floss are so disappointed that it isn't DMC because the label doesn't even resemble DMC floss labels. Yes, the colors aren't quite right. They do not match the DMC colors in any way, shape, or form (they may be close, but don't expect it to match if you run out of DMC floss and want to use this floss instead). It just means I have a wider range of colors to choose from. I've worked with this floss before, and it's a dream to wind on bobbins; I haven't had any issues with it. When I wound it on the bobbins, there were almost no knots or tangles. There's no other way for me to wind it than by hand. It looks fantastic! It has a fantastic hand. The colors are cheerful and bright. Though I believe the floss would be just as good for a pro as it is for a novice. It doesn't matter where you are in your embroidery journey; I believe you get what you see in terms of colors. The numbers are based on the DMC numbering system, but that's about it. It also makes no difference where it came from. So, whether it was made in China or elsewhere, as long as it serves a purpose, be content! Except for the new colors introduced in the last couple of years, I have almost all of the DMC Floss colors (normal floss). They'll be added to my collection in the near future. I'm pleased to report that all of the DMC floss is on bobbins. I've recently acquired a variety of other floss brands to use on bobbins in addition to these. The floss is simple to separate into individual strands; I had no trouble breaking it up into three strand groupings or less. I think you'll like this floss! I hope that this information aids you in determining whether it is suitable for you.
There is a lot of brown and green in the color palette. If you want to recreate something from the 1970s, this is the place to go. I'm going to use these to make bracelets with the kids at daycare, but I'll still need to buy red, blue, and other basic colors to balance out the brown that won't get picked.
The earthy tones and bright colors work well together. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find colors that matched all of the different shades of felt I use in my projects. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were all of the colors I required, and even more! Just keep in mind that if you're looking for a large quantity of a single color, this may not be the best option. Each color is represented by a few yards on each skein. Although I have more than enough for my needs, I am aware of the importance of dye lots to sewers. If you require a large quantity of ruby red or hot pink, consider ordering two packs or a single color pack.
I ordered this because it had a nice variety and was a good price, but the order was three short of the 100 that were supposed to be there. Furthermore, about 5 skeins of floss were glued to the tag, resulting in frayed, ruined, sticky, and paper-like floss. Furthermore, some of them were poorly wound, causing them to tangle easily; this issue was exacerbated by those that were glued/stuck to the tag. The variety itself was quite nice, if a little heavy on the brown hues. This is probably the product for you if you don't mind running out of numbers and throwing a few away.
For the project I'm working on right now, I had no trouble separating the strands. Colors came in a wide range of shades. br> The colors are both bright and muted. The only color I got twice was a green tone. I wasn't too disappointed because I embroider a lot of flowers and foliage.
