I buy the DMC thread that comes in bundles. It really works better than anything else. I wrap mine around little flat plastic spools that I got at the craft store. They don't tend to roll under the furniture like normal thread spools lol

If you are in the US, Michaels had Anchor 6 strand embroidery floss on sewing spools a few months ago. Aurifil also has an embroidery floss on spools, but I've never tried it.
I've also seen projects using sulky sewing thread that look really nice. This article has some sulky examples. https://peacockandfig.com/2018/08/sulky-thread-embroidery-cross-stitch/
Yes! Perfect! And they have a cute little button top for trapping the end of your thread! Perfect! Thank you!!
Here's another exclamation point for good measure!
