A friend of a friend loaned me a gorgeous book of cross stitch designs and the problem for me is – it’s in German (Book has been returned until I can work out thread conversions.
The designs are great, whimsical and I’m itchin’ to stitch a couple….. BUT the thread numbers don’t seem to match/convert with any I’ve seen before. The models look like they’re stitched with cotton thread… can anyone help with numbers – for example 2061 (yellow), 3006 (think this is white judging by the symbols), 3993, 3985, 3986, 4039, 3977, 1003, 4022 (these are pinks to plum shades) and 4024, 4000, 3212 (greens): 2023 (black by the look of it). Text beside the colour chart is ‘Steppstitche gesichter: 1 Faden (I think this might mean stitch with 1 strand) and schwarzer Twist MEZ 403.
If there was a conversion chart within the book I obviously wouldn’t be asking for help. Plus – I’ve searched the internet for thread companies and conversions and can’t seem to find anything remotely helpful. If no-one can assist I’ll just run with ‘closest to..’ format from my DMC stash.
Hope to hear from someone.
Thanks stitchers.
Cheers
Ann
