I got this DMC Pastels set and was so excited to have all these colors (I love pastels) but then I opened the package, and the bottom labels were different. "Not to be sold separately". I thought "huh, okay, I guess it's a packaging thing" and then I saw the "4 m (4,3 yd)" and... I had my a-ha moment. They're usually 8 m. There's even foam filling up half of the box. How did I miss this when clicking my online order??

I'm not terribly upset, the colors were needed and there's just something so satisfying seeing skeins laid out in a pastel rainbow, but I thought I got a good deal. Now I'll probably need to buy most of them separately just to get the amount I need.

I can't be the only one who got this set thinking I'd get the usual, full length skeins but just in a package deal?
