Hope this helps. KT in MI Thanks, I will copy this out. I remember the awful color changes in the old 500 numbers. I started a thing for DH, didn't realize the color change..so it is permanently consigned to the UFO pile. Gillian, in drizzly Florida (just wish I had put some flower seeds out prior to the rain.) |

It'll be June before we see grass in our area! Still about 18 inches of snow on the ground. And worse, my huge deck off the house just completely collapsed from the weight of the ice/snow. Insurance will cover but they say it will be June before they can re-build it. Rats. Back to sewing. |

DMC's website says they'll never discontinue a number sooooo, I wrote to them and here's their response: "When there are two numbers on a skein of floss like you have described with one inside ( ), it indicates that these two colors have become so similar over time that they can now be used interchangeably. You can use either one to get the same exact color. Please understand that we never do this on purpose. Unfortunately, this has happened gradually over the years because of changing regulations of dye manufacturers and governmental restrictions regarding the chemicals used in dyeing. (This happens with all coloring agents even hair colors.)" I did look on their color card and they do have the numbers in () on there, so I printed it out & will write that's what it means. If you'd like to do the same, here's the link: http://dmc-usa.com/Products/Needlewo...ery-Floss.aspx or tinyurl: http://tinyurl.com/jwpxh6p HTH! -- Joan See my pictures he http://ndjoan.shutterfly.com/pictures If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace happiness, then go ahead and worry!
