Hi. About 5 years ago I bought a few of the Care Bear cross stitch kits from Walmart, the walmart around here no longer sells counted cross stitch materials. The kits unfortunately came with the floss just bundled together with a number list on the back, I guess you were supposed to buy the floss numbered and match up the colors. Anyhow I'm finally getting around to working on them and I'm having a hard time with several of the colors, the kit was Funshine Bear Sledding #39058, a lot of the greens are just a shade different than the rest and the very lt blue looks white. I'm trying to find information on how to find the manufacturer of this floss and match up the colors. I've found that a majority of the colors on my kit are the same as Candamar, however, in my kit they have #6267 matched as a dark red and Candamar has it matched with an ultra light peach color. If anyone has info on how I might be able to find these colors that would be wonderful.

    Angel,
    Unfortunately, I don't have that number for the conversions from the kits I stitched years ago. Are these kits under the license of M.C.G. Textiles? If so, maybe you can email them at customersupport@mcgtextiles.com or call them at 951-674-1350.

    If it is J & P #6267 thread then the DMC #'s for a match is 580 or 905. I hope this will help you.
