The Light Effects threads work wonderfully when used in combination with cotton DMC Embroidery Floss, since both strands are the same thickness. 

You can add a subtle highlight to your stitching by combining one strand of cotton Floss with one strand of Light Effects. 

Or for a more vibrant look, you can substitute Light Effects for its matching shade in cotton DMC Floss, since they have a corresponding color numbering system. 

This will result in a bolder sparkle in your project. DMC Metallic Floss, a polyester metallic and viscose blend, is washable, dry cleanable and resistant to tarnish. 

Each skein measures 8.7 yards
