Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
Ok ladies..and gents.
I have recieved the kit in the mail today..so I will start it..
First impressions..the scent is VERY mild. Like I actually had to hold it right over my nostrils and take a BIG sniff..lol
and the scent...well..didn't really smell of caramel....kinda..stinky..but maybe once it airs out some

Looks YUMMY!!! I like it!
Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
The cross stitch looks cute. Maybe they will get the hang of it over time and the smells will get stronger.

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
This looks like a fun little project; maybe the thread is just a bit stinky from being trapped in the packaging and will come into its own when it gets some oxygen

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
Maybe you need to stitch with the thread to make the scent come out more??

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)

Make sure you're not hungry when you stitch. If you are I'd recommend chewing on a piece of gum instead of the thread.

mmmmm caramel! Oh this looks fun! I hadn't heard about the scented floss until recently. Makes me wonder if the scent still sticks around after you are all done!

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
This does sound interesting...does the thread seem to feel thicker or thinner? Does it pull through the fabric the same or does it move differently? Does it twist more???
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
Will be interesting to hear about what these are like Kit and design look cool ^^

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
ok this another thing I don't care for..but to some it may not matter.
Normally in kits, next to the number it gives you a description like very light brown, brown, dark brown..etc
well not this kit.
If you weren't familiar w/ the DMC line..you'd have to hold the thread next to the little square and hope you can match it up..lol
on a plus note..I did, as you can see in the photo..I did wind each color on a plastic bobbin.. a pleasent suprise..when I opened my box to start stitching, i got hit with a lovely mild smell of toffee /caramel!
didn't stink

Re: Scented DMC kit WIP(coffee_freak)
Hmm, from the chart it looks like only the 977 is the scented one...
As for trying to match up the colours.... well I'm glad I don't do kits anymore!! You'd just have to guess from the number of strands there were I suppose.
Looking forward to seeing it stitched!

Oh isn't it strange, it doesn't seem to use 'proper' symbols, just colour blocks.
