I finally managed to get the yarns that I need thanks to a wonderful lady called Wendy Riley (http://www.spinningjenny.co.uk/) to whom I sent the started embroidery and pattern and she picked the best match threads for me. I have not started it yet, I will need to do some test stitching first as I am new to crewel stitching too! I'll let you know when it is done.
