DMC S471. It's described as "satin" but it looked metallic to me. Either way, this stuff is awful. It frays like crazy leaving granny smith colored green fuzz everywhere. It's slippery and tries to unravel even after you have it stitched into the pattern. It twists around on itself to the point that it acts like it has knots in it even when it doesn't, and you have to redo the same stitches over and over again.

I got it because they were out of the color I needed at the craft store and this was a similar color. I thought the metallic look would add something extra to the finished pattern, but it just gave me a headache lol

It even keeps unravelling from the spool I stored it on ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Do not make the same mistake I did

I will admit that once I finally got it stitched into the pattern it actually looks pretty good lol
