No , embroidery thread comes in single strands of various sizes
and are sold wrapped around spools similar to sewing thread.
Most Embroidery threads are smooth, tight made to be used with machines.
Floss is two to six strands loosely twisted , and are sold in hanks
when a hank is wrapped in a loose coil then it is called a Skein.
(some two strand flosses are sold in spools)
the main difference between a strand of thread and
a strand of floss is the tightness of the twisting which adds strength.
a single strand of thread is harder, firmer to the touch
a single floss softer
in sewing a single strand of cotton floss will often break
where a similar cotton embroidery thread will not.
