Floche:
Floche:
This wonderful cotton floss is superb for smocking and embroidery and shadow
work. Floche is a luxury embroidery thread imported from Europe.
Softly twisted, this 5-ply cotton fiber is highly mercerized, giving it a lovely
sheen. You do not strip floche, and due to better coverage you use fewer
threads in the needle. For shadow work, because it spreads out on the
wrong side of the fabric, it produces a stronger "shadow" on the right
side. The bullion roses that are produced with floche are superior to
those with regular floss. The 5-plys untwist giving your bullions a look
of many strands of fine floss with a beautiful sheen. Use 2 strands for
geometric smocking, 3 strands for picture smocking and one for shadow work and
embroidery. The coverage is wonderful.
40 yard packages $2.75/skein. Large Hanks in 5200

Ribbon Floss
Ribbon Floss can be used for smocking. The coverage is
great and the rayon sheen is beautiful. I have found that the metallic
ribbon floss is the easiest to smock with when your plate calls for a metallic
floss. It does not shred like other metallic and the coverage is
wonderful. $1.90/skein for regular, $2.80/skein for metallic.
