I surfed the web until I found a listing of the numbers
for the DMC Flower
Threads. I found it in Creative Hand Shoppe under the
listing of supplies
that you could buy from them. They indicated that the
last date it was
updated was 5/3/96. I emailed the listing to myself but
couldn't figure out how to send it to the
newsgroup......so I typed it all out for you.

Hope this help....

Discontinued in 2003, and I still have a complete
collection. Excellent chart, but please note: What you
have as very light tan 2736 is actually 2738 You omit 2595
Teal (there were 180 colours not 179)

I too have a complete set and was very disappointed when
they were discontinued. They were a bit tricky to get the
hang of at first, but they worked up beautifully.

I still display a Sudbury box with a design stitched in
the flower thread. I've also done a matching pillowtop,
but never got around to actually making it into a pillow.

One day....

Nyssa, who has so many "one day" projects she probably won't
need to buy much in the way of materials for a decade or two

I know the feeling. I will need to be immortal to finish all my projects. My current project is to do something as subtle as a Thea Gouveneur using flower thread, but that's 180 colours v 465. But if I add in all the 130 Danish flower threads I am getting nearer. The conversion charts are crude but demonstrate that the subtlety can be achieved. I'd like to get hold of some Anchor Nordin but they seem even harder to obtain.
