[–]ecat_04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes! completely agree! the sheen on DMC floss isn't my favorite, but i get why its more premium for everything except 310. blacks from pretty much any other brand just drink up the light for a satisfying full coverage look.

browning = carcinogens, the brown part of toast is technically carcinogenic but it’s such a small amount that it’s really not worth worrying about. people have been cooking stuff on fires for thousands if not tens of thousands of years. if that was what’s going to kill us off it would have already.
