Paternayan yarn numbers
Hi, I am thinking about making the pattern "Tinkle, a Cat" from the
book by Brande Ormond, _American Primitives in Needlepoint_. But when I look at the Paternayan yarn numbers, they are so different! This calls for quite a lot of Dark Red #201, but when I look at color charts, 201 is quite a shade of grey! Is there any way to convert these numbers? I have googled it and had no luck at all. |

You aren't mixing up Paterna and Paternayan are you? One's British, the
other American. Most of the colors are the same, but some are different.

Will check. ----------------------- Yes, Paternayan. but like I said, when I look at the color charts online, some of the colors aren't even there, and the ones that are, are just different. Gray, instead of red. that kind of thing. |

Might be worth checking out a Paterna color chart just in case. -- Brenda Help Project Gutenberg--become a Distributed Proofreader http://www.pgdp.net/ |

I did a bit more research.
Your book was published in 1977. Paternayan colors changed some time in the 1980's I think, so you should be looking for a conversion chart of the old to new Paternayan colors. From what I've read the company never issued a conversion chart although I think there were conversion charts published by other parties. Some magazine called Needlepoint News published one, according to a google of this group. Dora elderberry22 wrote: bungadora wrote: You aren't mixing up Paterna and Paternayan are you?

As a followup, the only reference I have been able to find to a conversion chart was Needlepoint News, March-April 1982. Otherwise a google search suggested contacting JCA. Their website is http://www.jcacrafts.com/index.php/ I think I'll do some needlepoint now. Dora |

Now if I can just figure out how much yarn, I will be set. |

What luck! I was hoping to find someone on this newsgroup that might know if
these Paternayan numbers have changed. I was looking for #520, for an OLD 1976 project I am working on. No. 520 is a Teal Blue shade now and the color I need is green, which looks like #630. Thank you! This project is one of 3 President's wives; Martha Washington, Julia Tyler and Sara Jackson, from a McCall's magazine. Susanne "elderberry22" wrote in message ps.com...

I only have a few rows of the green at the very bottom to finish, and then the braid wrapped around the top of her head. I just noticed the top of her head should have been done in continental stitch. Maybe when it is washed and blocked it won't be distorted? I might just frame this rather than make the doll. Susanne |
