English floss conversion

18 years ago

Hi, I bought a used book that has English Garden Embroidery/crossstitch/needlepoint patterns. The floss is English and I need to find it in US terms. For example: Reds: A621 and A622 and A942. Does anyone know where I can find a chart to compare these with DMC floss.

The pictures and patterns are unusual to me. Thank you, Karan

Karan, perhaps you can contact DMC directly to see if they would have a conversion chart. I haven't seen any charts for English thread, only between U.S. brands, Anchor, or DMC, ect.
