Ulysses Butterflya Cross Stitch Kit by Riolis

I made this kit several years ago for a quick gift for my daughter. Maybe the kit (bought at Hobby Lobby) was old, but the floss was not the quality I was used to with DMC products. The floss seemed fuzzy in comparison. I should have just tossed the floss that came with the kit, but I used it. I didn't like the bare aida, so I filled the background in with a DMC pearl to give the framed crossstitch a little more shine. I'm hesitant to purchase more Riolis kits unless I'm prepared to change out the floss.
