WRONG!! It was brought to my attention that this is false information. I was going by my SIL's Guild notes on threads and pulled a spool from the bag marked #5. Her notes are #5 is 12 wt. but with all the specialty work they did, maybe this was not referring to DMC. I can't wear my contacts because my eyes are so bad (nope, no stitching yet) and never checked the spool. 12 is printed on it, not 5 and I have no idea what the weight is nor does DMC list it. So ignore the following which was the original post. But I still have to wonder how close this spool of 12 is to the Sulky!
**************************
Would Sulky Petites be the same as DMC #5? Both are 12 wt. and as my cart on Sulky's site filled with colors, I wondered if the twisted thread would lie the same. Searched videos and only found a few regarding Sulky and none really answered my question. I have several balls of #5 so stitched a little on a 32 count which is the top row and bottom row is two threads of basic DMC. I don't think Sulky would be much different, both are tight twists, but I wonder if it would lie flatter. To me, this 12 wt. is sort of rope-ish. Sulky.com's sale ends tonight, the Petite is on sale for $1.18 a spool from $1.69. Maybe it would be prudent to add a few spools to my 123 order rather than two dozen from Sulky just because they are on sale. But I can't pass up a sale. What to do, what to do. Life is full of nonessential decisions isn't it?

And I have to mention once again to stop posting the heart wrenching photos of bloody and beaten animals. No warning as you scroll through stitching posts that the photo is next. Don't you realize that the "story" beneath the photo to appeal to your compassion is from the same barbarian that beat that dog and took the photos? That fabricated "story" is to get you to share their brutal bloody photos and have as many people as possible see their work. Rescue sites tell you where the animal is being cared for and have a legitimate site. No one rescued that dog, just left her to be beaten again on the end of her chain, if she survives. Stop it stop it stop it STOP IT. I won't go back to FB for quite some time.

Sulky # 12 is the same as DMC #12 Perle. You don't double it up. It's about the same as two plies of floss.

Marly: I am not sure about the Sulky, I have not used it as of yet.
I do not do facebook they let way to much shit yes I said it on their site even before checking to see its source, sadly facebook does not care, just think how wealthy the dingdong is that created that site.
Stay healthy

Marly, I purchased the 2 sets of Sulky 12 wt in cases from Amazon. I figured it came out to about $1.23 a spool plus the cases. If I remember correctly one was 80 something and one 90 something. Sulky sale sounds good if just want certain colors. I have yet to use them. (Story of my life)! Hope u feel better and that the furrballs are behaving. Liked the new paint in hallway.
It's been so long since I've had the luxury of an LNS and things have changed so much (dmc isn't the only thread anymore) I have not kept up on these threads and can't afford to order them only to find I don't like them.
I don't get too many of those animal cruelty posts but when I do it takes quite a while to get them out of my head. Sick sick SICK!!!
