I just realized this is yarn and not floss, which I know is also available. How can a request be made to get the floss as a drop as well. Thanks!

BlueCrownedOk... but the real issue I have is that the drop says thread and in reality this is for yarn. Misleading drop.

@SandyLucas Hi - SandyLucas,
I think I'm confused about this drop. It is basically almost $13 per skein if the lowest price doesn't make which is almost $6 over the msrp of $7.50. If the drop does make then the price is just at the msrp? It looks like beautiful yarn but other than the free shipping which can be found at other sites, what is the advantage of going through massdrop? Thanks!

redjul31You're right: If the quantity threshold for the lowest price is reached, then you can get this at MSRP with free shipping. Just be sure not to confuse MSRP and market price, though: the market price for this yarn is often above the MSRP, and the market price is really what matters when shopping for "deals". Personally, I would only commit to the purchase at the lowest price because I wouldn't want to buy this at the higher price ($26).

Hi, @Rebecca1 @Darsidhe @BlueCrowned @ekellyva @MagistraK @Xanthic,
Thank you for the call outs. The MSRP per skein is $7.50, per the vendor. The drop was originally set up for two skeins and it was switched to four but that part was not updated. It is now updated to reflect $30 for four skeins. I also added a bullet down in the specs that calls out DK weight.
As far as pricing goes, I haven't seen this anywhere for less then MSRP, not including shipping. If you have links, let me know and I'll see what I can do with the vendor.
Thanks!

SandyLucasHi, Sandy. Thanks for looking into this. Can't find the original site where I found the thread for $7.00 (maybe I dreamed it!) but Joggles.com has a few colors for $6.38/skein https://www.joggles.com/fibers-and-specialty-threads/tentakulum-painters-products/tentakulum-flower-thread
For those who haven't used Tentakulum threads, they really are lovely. Designed for embroidery and embellishment. I've used other varieties and they work up just beautifully. Good deal at $22.99, I think.

Finally a quality product but no real discount (and a dodgy MSRP statement.) Maybe Massdrop just doesn't have anyone with the yarn knowledge or contacts to make this community work... :(

why is the MSRP $15.00 and yet you are stating the drop deal is $25.99 for 4 choices of fabric, to me this is not a deal at all

Rebecca1$15 each x 4 = $60 and this is 4 for $25.99...

BlueCrownedBut it's $7 retail so no, not much of a deal.

Confused by the pricing, too. This is widely available at $7 per skein, making the four-skein drop a retail value of $28. Tentakulum makes beautiful threads, but this drop doesn't seem to make sense.

The colors look great, but cotton that's not mercerized so it fluffs, pills and wears out faster? Nope. I'm hoping that the drop price vs. msrp is the difference between 4 skeins (drop) and single skein (msrp) but for the minimal amount of yarn I'm not impressed. And I do buy lots of (expensive, quality) yarns. Just not this.

Is it thread or yarn; what weight is this?

So it's $8 to $11 *more* than the MSRP, and it's a minimum of $23 plus shipping for 40 *yards*? Is that right? Handpainted or no, I've never in my life seen cotton get close to 50¢ a yard....

XanthicThe true msrp is $7 per skein :(

On other drops, the MSRP is like-for-like (i.e., if the drop is for 4 units, the price is for 4 units) or else it gets corrected. There's no reason to think it's meant to be read as $15/skein.
Either way, it looks like this is one of those products where the MSRP is falsely inflated, since it regularly retails for half that.
