Hope you can all help me. I'm going to do some Hummingbird patterns and want
to change the regular plain DMC color to shiny Marlitt (or equivilent). I've
searched the internet for a conversion chart, but the only one I can 'find'
is the DMC site that doesn't work any longer.
Can anyone help!!??


This site is actually a conversion from Anchor Martlitt TO DMC Rayon,
but you can search for a string of characters (i.e. 310) and find it
in reverse. And IIRC, DMC numbers their rayons to match their
cottons, just adding a 3 or a 30 to the begining to end up with a 5
digit number.

Jenn, I think you're right about DMC just adding something at the beginning.
But, if going from DMC to Marlitt, the easiest thing is to go from DMC to
Anchor floss, then to Marlitt. There are several conversion sites for DMC to
Anchor - easy google for them.

The alternative to Marlitt is Rainbow Gallery Patina - which is also rayon.
And then there are the EdMar rayons.

Good luck,
