Maxee 100-Color Rainbow Embroidery Floss — 8.75 yd Skeins for Cross Stitch
Product description
Ancient-inspired colorfast dyeing: the threads are colored using a reclaimed, traditional dyeing approach that blends mineral and botanical pigments to create deep, lasting hues. The process is designed to resist fading so finished pieces retain vivid color over time.
Material blend and feel: each skein is made from a premium mix of long-staple cotton and mulberry silk. The fibers are polished and wound to reduce fuzz and knots, producing a silky glide through fabric and smooth tension for hand stitching and braiding.
What’s included: the set features 100 individual skeins arranged as a rainbow palette. Each skein measures about 8.75 yards (8 meters), giving plenty of yardage for bracelets, sampled swatches, or portions of larger embroidery projects.
Palette scope: the colors in this kit are selected from a broader catalog of 500 exclusive color codes, so the 100 shades here represent a carefully chosen slice of that extended palette — from soft pastels to rich, saturated tones.
Uses and projects: suitable for friendship bracelets, children’s crafts, cross-stitch, tassel making, and seasonal decorations. The smooth thread reduces snarls and is comfortable for repetitive stitching, making crafting sessions more enjoyable.
Gift and sharing: sold as a versatile craft kit, it makes a thoughtful present for parents, grandparents, or friends who enjoy DIY needlework and beadless jewelry. The variety encourages collaborative projects and teaching moments across generations.

Matches DMC Numbering — Very Useful
High-quality floss with 447 distinct shades and no repeats. I compared them to my 12‑page DMC color card and the Maxee shade numbers matched, which makes color matching straightforward. I’m making 1‑inch swatches and labeling each by number.

Great Set (Polish)
This floss set is really great — the range of 50 colors offers many possibilities, shades are vivid and look lovely in embroidery. Threads are soft, easy to work with, and don’t tangle. A very good kit for beginners and advanced stitchers.

Like a Candy Shop!
Arrived neatly packed and on schedule. I didn’t count every skein, but the color transitions are lovely, there’s no banding, and the threads are sturdy. My daughter and I are delighted — we even put our phones down and filled our wrists with bracelets 🥳
