This one is for the Cross Stitchers and Embroiderers out there. DMC, which makes the best known (in the US) threads for doing cross stitch and embroidery projects, is making a scented thread.
Some of the threads are flower scented and some are fruit scented. Would you use scented thread? Would you give a scented gift? To me its seems a little odd to create scented thread. What do you think?

Oh my goodness! I use floss with my students to creat bracelets. If I got the scented kind all they would do is spend their time smelling each other's floss, LOL! They would more than likely end up driving me crazy!

I don't know that I'd go out of my way to get it. I would think the scent would wear off before long and most cross stitch pieces are framed so there wouldn't be much sense to using them on those. I guess for little gifts it would be great though. I little birthday cake bookmark scented like strawberries would be nice :)

What will they think of next, Aurone? This certainly does seem odd. If a person just had to have a pleasing scent they could always light a scented candle. I think it's just a novelty that won't be taken very seriously.

That does seem a bit bizarre. I don't think I'd use scented thread. I think I'd prefer to just buy regular thread for the project. Then, if I feel that it needs fragrance, I can add fragrance. And really, how long is the fragrance on these threads going to last? Rose scented thread today will probably smell like plain old thread in a few months.

It just sounds too 'gimicky' to me. We all know that odors will fade with time, and you will again be left with just plain old thread. I am sure it is going to cost extra and I know I am way,way too cheap to spend more money. I like making and putting sachets, with different smells into the packages when I give my handiwork. So no, I won't be buying any of this thread, either for myself or as a gift.

I think scented thread would be fun as long as it was the same price as the regular thread. It would be interesting to mix scents. If it's like some of the things I cook, it could get a little nauseating.
