Is there a difference ?

Very good question. I have been wondering the same. Thanks for asking.
Right now I'm looking at Hemingworth's enbroidery cones, and while I
love the colors, I see they are NOT the same beast as the DMC floss at
my local stitchery cottage. Suitable for much finer work, I think. I
like their peacock tones. Right now I'm using DMC's stuff for hand
work to learn the stitches.

Alex, going to make pork/pineapple stir fry for us two.
