I was given an old unopened kit (4834 "New England Fall Scene") that I'm excited to start but in the instructions (printed in black and white) Color #s and names are matched to numbers in the chart. The problem is, all of the wool came in bags and as I separated the colors, there is nothing to tell me which color is which. Since it's a fall scene, you can imagine that the difference between light rust, coral, and yellow orange can get very confusing...
At first I thought maybe the wool colors were the same color# as the floss colors but that doesn't seem to be the case. My next check was with DMC colors since I know some people have advised that in some kits the floss color# was converted to DMC already. That also doesn't seem to be the case. For example color #893 is "Lilac" according to the instructions for my kit. There is no Bucilla floss color #893, and when I checked DMC, 893 is "Carnation."
I might end up emailing them but wanted to check here first since I'm pretty sure this kit is more than 20 years old. I've done a lot of searches online but can't find anything.
I can't wait to start so thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to advise on this!
