Carrie - thank you, thank you. (And Carmel too for your input and help.) That's brilliant. Your blood is worth bottling! I'm off to find the threads and stitch my grand-daughter a wonderful whimsical fairy or two. Many, many thanks.
Hugs

: I believe your numbers are for Vaupel &
: Heilenbeck threads. Try this page, I have
: navigated through the German from the
: homepage right to the page you need:

: 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
