Just how many floss colors do I have? Want a good laugh?

I had a gal email me and ask how many floss colors I have. I told her I have small sets of 3-4 colors (a couple dozen), boxed sets of 12 and 28, large sets of 46 and 80 colors and lots of singles.
So she asks how many colors(skeins) do you have if I buy one of each? I started counting......and counting......


And counting.......got tired of counting and told her I had roughly 438 singles from all the collections and sets. How many yards is that? 8,760 and I think it would keep you busy for quite a while.
She asks if I have any other colors..........ok I do have a few drawers of singles that I had from my early years. I put them into 50 skein sets and put them on sale. That's another 1,000 yards. She waited a few minutes and sent another email. How much of a discount can you give me if I buy one of each? These are regular price of $2 and I run a 15% off sale on ebay. So I told her $1.50 per skein (25% off), you pay the postage, and I will GIVE you one of the 50 skein sets (or you can have a yard of 32ct linen or some hand dyed aida). Total before postage is $657. Saves you $100 on the 50 skein set. She said I'll take it and you should offer this to other stitchers. Well I know a lot of stitchers who buy a lot of floss......and this is a lot of floss!
So......if anyone else is interested in this special just let me know. I can calculate postage for you. Believe me...you won't run out of floss for a very long time!!! And just to show how much of a discount this is...I am about 1/4 the price of other companies who sell 5 yards for $2-2.50. This amount would be over $4,000.00. Such a deal! lol

Thanks for stopping by.

    Wow! Is she running a stitching class? It will take ages to use that amount of floss... But it must be marvelous just to look at so many colors together... :)

    That is a lot of skeins, but I can understand her. in that way I started with the entire collection of DMC and now have build of my stash so I have 3 -5 skeins each color. Never run out of a color this way ;-)

    Wow, what a great deal!! I think I have most of your colors...LOL. Over the years I have bought most all of the sets or at least the singles and love every single one of them. If that wasn't the case, I would be placing that order for sure.
