I've been going thru my floss collection- I updated all many of my floss with new plastic bobbins and made sure I had all the colors. Well it seems I have more colors than DMC has. I have two bobbins of floss which I numbered 3374 and 3378. I can't match up the colors to any other DMC floss. I guess my question is: Are these discontinued floss colors? Does anyone else have them? I have another floss but I regret I forgot it's number. I think it was in the 500s. I'll have to hunt for it. Parts of my floss collection
have been around for over twenty years. I suspect these colors are older or terribly mislabeld.
Help me out!!

      Sorry; hit the wrong key...

      Both Gloria & Pat, Inc gloria-pat.com & Counted Cross Stitch, Needlework, and Stitchery Page http://users.rcn.com/kdyer.dnai/ list Discontinued DMC floss numbers. I didn't see those 2, but 504 is listed. CCS, NW & S Page lists why--due to ecological concerns. Go to top

    You have written down the WRONG numbers! In North America (Canada & USA) and Mexico DMC has not discontinued any colours. Go to your LNS and check your flosses with their DMC colour chart. Now in Europe DMC discontinued a few colours and you will see these numbers in brackets. Go to top

    I agree with Maria S. I have all the floss colors and also the pallet and those numbers are not used by DMC. It is easy to write down the wrong numbers with DMC floss. I've done it several times. Go to top

    Could you possibly have meant 3774 and 3778? Barb Go to top
