Aurelia I've used all 6 strands of DMC floss to make some samples, intrigued as you are by the huge array of colors. I found that 6 strands worked well at 5/inch. The reason against using it that I can see is that with multiple strands easily separated there is too much opportunity for hard objects to snag some of those threads as the finished lace is used. If you were making a piece that would be permanently displayed under glass, this objection would fall. Using only one strand I would expect the thread to be too likely to break. As an embroiderer I found it could break. Lorelei
