A public Thank You.
I posted last week about trying to match some green thread. I knew it was
good thread; either DMC or Anchor. Many years ago, I bought the book of sample DMC threads. What I forgot was that it was dated 1991, and DMC has added many new colors since then. It did not match any of the old colors, so I assumed it was Anchor. I asked for help from rctners, and a sincere public thanks for all who offered to help. Fred lives in Winnipeg, so I sent him a sample. He identified the color as DMC 3810; not in my sample book. So off to Michaels, and the match is not quite perfect. But I bought two skeins, and I can use the old trick of using one strand from the new floss, and one from the old, until I run out of the old, I am sure no-one will see anything at all. So my very sincere thanks to Fred, and all the others who offered help. Jim. |

I have tons and tons of older DMC in the black hole I call my craft closet, most of which probably does go back to the early 90's. I don't know for sure I have any anymore, but my guess is yes I do since I know at one time I owned several full sets of DMC. If you'd like I can dig it out for you. Jinx |
