Anchor Embroidery floss on spools is a superior 6 strand extra-long staple 100% Egyptian cotton embroidery thread, where each strand can be further divided into single plies. The new spool eliminates twists and tangles for a high-quality finish and stitching experience. The spools are easy to store and organize. A favorite world-wide, Anchor floss is ideal for cross stitch on various fabric counts, freestyle embroidery, canvas work and other forms of counted thread embroidery. Stranded Cotton thread comes in 10 m spools and provides a brilliant lustre, unique softness and an intense light reflection due to the extra-long staple length of the Egyptian Giza fibers and double mercerization.

I very much prefer Anchor's black to DMC's black 310 floss. The Anchor floss is just a bit fluffier and fuller, providing more coverage so you don't see so much of the fabric color underneath the stitches. The piece in the attached photo was stitched on 28 count linen, 2 strands of Anchor black. The photo was taken directly under a bright lamp so you can see a bit of the fabric underneath the black stitches, but in normal lighting it's not noticeable at all. Good stuff!

This is similar in thickness and color to DMC 310, but it was rougher so it picked up a ton of fuzzies / lint. Also, it knotted constantly, so I had to turn my work over every time to watch as I slowly pulled it through. Considering the coverage was the same as DMC, it's not worth the frustration. So I'll be sticking with DMC 310 for now.
