DMC Art 1 17 series embroidery thread is composed of six strands, which is easy to separate. This embroidery thread is made of the best long-fiber cotton in the world and has a special double mercerizing treatment, so it has a special luster. Compared with other brands, its colors are very rich, with 448 basic colors and 60 mixed colors. The color number is registered globally and enjoys copyright. The only cotton thread in the world that can guarantee the same color number every time is colorless. No matter machine washing, hand washing or high temperature ironing, there will be no fading phenomenon. The world-leading mercerized cotton technology makes embroidery thread have silky luster and feel, and its color is soft and natural. No hair loss, no knot, no fading, no damage. Strong flexibility and wear resistance. Many embroidery drawings produced by cross-stitch companies are based on DMC thread numbers. The color of the finished product is the same as the renderings, which is really one-to-one. Disadvantages, hehe, the price is more expensive, and there are few varieties of kits. Generally, you can find the wiring yourself from the drawings, which have a wide range of choices. Embroiderers who use DMC embroidery thread are generally cross-stitch college graduates and submit graduation thesis. Of course, JJMM who keep popping out of their pockets can also choose to buy. However, due to DMC's great reputation and monopoly in the industry, the market is flooded with fake lines, and many buyers are easily deceived. I'll teach you a trick to identify the authenticity of DMC wire (1000 yuan won't change): pull a short piece of wire and light it with fire. Real products should have no smell and burn without ashes. And fakes, ... gnome male-"! ! ! Try it yourself! The fabric of DMC cloth in France is relatively thin, and the fabric whose specification is above 14CT has a relatively large hole (often the needle will fall out by itself if you are not careful). Personally, I think it is more suitable for older embroidery friends whose eyes are beginning to presbyopia. When mounting a work embroidered with DMC embroidered cloth, it is best to pad a piece of cloth or paper with the same color as the embroidered cloth on the back of the cloth first, which will make the mounting effect of the work better. The hem of DMC cloth is a small blue square. 2. German anchor (all imported): There are 480 colors, and the company was established later than DMC. But it can't be underestimated by generations. The quality of ANC line in Germany is equivalent to that of DMC line in France, and the color is gorgeous. It is almost impossible to embroider the embroidery produced by the anchor's own company, such as scenery and flowers. ANCHOR is generally wired according to drawings, with few suites and more expensive than DMC, which is extremely expensive. But you must be careful when buying ANC lines, because imported products can be alive. Recently, a large number of counterfeit lines have appeared in online sales. Germany's precision machinery is the most rigorous and internationally famous, so the quality of cloth in Germany is also the best. It's my favorite fabric. It's thick and full of checks, but it's more expensive. Its edge is orange. 3. Olympus (Japan): The Chinese translation of Olympus, with the same name as digital products, is purely coincidental. Japanese goods are rare in Chinese mainland, and half of them are caused by the subconscious of China people. Also, Japanese cross-stitch and Chinese embroidery styles are too close. Olympus is the brand of Clover, which started in Japan. 1925. The embroidery style is fresh and elegant, and the embroidery thread is smooth and bright, which makes you feel silky when threading the needle. -such as Japanese fish! The early popularity of cross-stitch in Taiwan Province Province was attributed to Olympus. There is also a Japanese COSMOS, which is used for home embroidery and is closer to China's embroidery! 4.Stitch (Korea): STITCH is well known! Korean Wave stands for trendy! STITCH is a representative of South Korea's cross stitch, and there are admirers in Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand in Southeast Asia. As soon as its new model came out, it swept the world and followed a large group of plagiarism! Just like Mona Lisa, Zhen Ai and Yimei in China, they have all been pirates. Domestic intellectual property protection is weak, and Koreans don't fight international lawsuits, so the world is at peace! (In fact, Koreans have already sneaked into Chencang, cooperated with China and opened an angel needle. They are too lazy to fight a long-drawn-out pen and ink lawsuit. First, put the visible banknotes into the bag! STITCH's magazine is more respected by fans. It can be seen that Koreans really regard cross-stitch as an industry! 5.DOME (Korea): what a beautiful Chinese translation! The product is beautiful, comparable to STITCH! The price is also expensive! The price of meat is rising, so it is estimated to be weighed! 6.Yeidam (Korea): Ye Dan's Chinese translation, produced in Korea, the luster of the thread is acceptable, it does not knot and does not fade. The disadvantage is that it is a little thin and expensive. Money is tight, it probably hurts! The above three kinds of Korean cross-stitch fabrics are divided into thin materials and thick materials, of which the quality of thin materials is worse than that of DMC fabrics, and the quality of thick materials is between German fabrics and DMC fabrics. 7.PINN-STITCH (Thailand): Thailand is a big country that produces cross-stitch lines, and international giants have processing plants in Thailand. Cross stitch in Thailand has a strong national flavor. Religion and kings are the main theme! The original kit is very expensive! Small pieces are converted into RMB not less than that of 200 yuan, and large pieces are more than RMB 1 1,000. 8. Spring: Cooperation with French DMC. The embroidery thread in the package is made of 65,438+0,000% Egyptian long-staple cotton, woven and mercerized with advanced Thai textile processing technology, and dyed with high-quality reactive dyes imported from Germany. Brightness and color have reached the world-class level, and each thread color has been strictly tested before leaving the factory and will never fade. There are 448 colors! Haha, I'm not bragging, because it's the genetic inheritance of DMC, and all the excellent ones have been preserved! The embroidered cloth in the package is made of 24 pure cotton yarns through strict textile and sizing processes. The embroidered needle in the bag is a high-quality blunt needle imported from Taiwan Province Province. 9. Mona Lisa: The place of origin is Shanghai. The kit is made of Korean cloth, with Thai fairy thread and Venus thread, which is soft, full and shiny, positive in color, lint-free, colorfast and unbreakable. There seem to be two kinds of Mona Lisa's toolkits: the one with good quality, the thread twisted into a twist shape, colorfast and shiny; The kind with poor quality has loose lines and good gloss, but it is thin, easy to break and fuzz. It is said that the domestic line is used instead of the imported line, so JJMM must pay attention to the distinction when buying it. 10. European royal family: In fact, it is a family with Mona Lisa, and a grandfather has two children. When the company was divided, the royal family came into being. Generally speaking, the quality is comparable to that of Mona Lisa. 1 1. Yimei: Korean cloth, SAHA-UNION thread in Thailand, the cloth is straight, the thread has 454 colors, it feels soft, full and shiny, and the color is positive, without knotting or fading. Although it is an imported product, the price is not expensive. I believe many people will choose this brand first, and the finished product has a good effect. The advantage is that it is specially designed for the embroidery thread of the kit, and there are no fakes on the market for the time being, so you can buy it with confidence and there is no quality problem. 12.Luckyfish: It's also made in Shanghai, and the quality is very good, comparable to the Mona Lisa and the royal family! It dares to admit that it is a joint venture line, much brighter than the Mona Lisa! Disadvantages are small scale, few kits and high price! 13.CMC: originated from Hubei yellow peach! CMC embroidery thread also has 448 colors, all of which are made of 100% Egyptian cotton. It is made of exquisite craftsmanship and has reached the world-class level in brightness and color. The color of each thread has been strictly tested before leaving the factory and will never fade. It is a high-quality and low-cost cross-stitch thread. There are many kits and rich drawings. 14.KS (Sino-Japanese joint venture): Formerly known as Rose brand, it was renamed KS after joint venture with Japanese. Japanese export technology, made in China, so-called export to domestic market. The quality of thread and cloth is very good. Ks is unique in the big suite, and the scenery is unique for a while. Six-foot peony, rising sun and golden flowers everywhere are all original works of KS, and JM people also talk about it. 15.KEC: This is a product of Wenzhou. This can only be a low-middle brand in cross-stitch. The price is moderate, and the drawings are borrowed and copied from all directions. So people have it, people don't, hehe-it doesn't. Embroidery that has left the pre-school of cross-stitch can continue to study in embroidery primary school with KEC products! 16. Zhenai (domestic): Zhenai is indeed a domestic line. I don't know who praised foreign goods, not even hybrids. Zhenai and Jin Xin are actually the same company, the manufacturer is in Yiwu, Zhejiang, but the quality of Zhenai is better than Jinxin. It's an upgraded dual-core Jin Xin. There is no problem with the drawings and fabrics. Generally speaking, the quality of the thread is slightly poor, uneven in thickness and prone to fuzzing, but it seems to have improved now. 17. Gongting, Jin Xin, Ruyi, Zhizhen and Lejiajia (made in China): Why do you comment on these five brands together? Because they are hot items in the cross-stitch market. Chin beauty, pop music! It's everywhere. Villages and towns have opened stores and sold them! The advantage lies in the low price and the popularity of cross stitch. The great leader speaks well, and things are always contradictory! So although angry that it disturbed the market order, it also made more people know the art of cross stitch. The common problems of these brands are poor gloss, easy to break and nap, some will fade, there will be insufficient wiring, and sometimes the renderings and drawings will be biased. Quality, had to lament, can't say, can't say. Suitable for JJMM practice just learning embroidery, it is best not to choose this as a gift or decoration-there is DMC or anchor next to others, to apply an old saying: pearls and jade are on the side, and gravel can shine? It is inevitable to lay your own desk. Borrowed, hehe
