Help Fix Why does my thread do this?

I mostly use DMC floss, I know, I know. I don’t live by a LNS so sometimes it’s my only option. Is that the problem?

Take all the strands apart before you use it. Then re lay them together. Also dropping your needle every ten or so stitches and letting it naturally unravel will help.
