retired floss

I jusr downloaded the shopping list for floss from the dmc website and as I
was checking my stash I found that I had several numbers of floss that were
not listed. is this a result of too many hours spent late at night winding
bobbins or did DMC actually stop producing certain numbers of floss?

It was some years ago, and I may not be remembering correctly. It
may depend on where you live, and which DMC website you logged on to.
IIRC, in *Europe*, and everwhere else *except* North America, DMC stopped
selling the following numbers. 504, 731, 776, 781, 806, 971, and 3373.
There may have been other numbers discontinued before I started stitching,
nearly 30 years ago. HTH.

Ok, here's yet another one I can't figure out. Someone please tell me
what IIRC means? Though I've puzzled mightily (hee) over this, I
haven't been able to figure it out.

P.S. What would you call a group of needleworkers? Not a joke, my
poor feeble mind can't come up with anything good.

I thought I had nearly every color DMC makes - I do, including the
ones since discontinued. The happy thought is that they want you to
buy new colors every time you do a project. Never mind the colors
they choose aren't necessarily the ones you think best fit. Sal

Some days needlers, other days friends.

Geese in flight are called a skein. I suppose that would be a good term
for needleworkers, too.

OK, I am getting confused with all these abbreviations. I think I
will go back to working on a TW design... I need to relax.
