Default JanLynn Kits

I noticed on a JanLynn kit that I got that they listed color
equivalents in the middle. Does anyone know for sure if this is DMC
equivalents?

Thanks in advance.

To the best of my knowledge, Janlynn uses real DMC floss in their kits.

I used to do QC stitching for them, and at that time it was DMC floss.

Janlynn does not "always" use DMC in their kits. They will always list a
DMC "equivalent" number. Unless they specifically say that the kit contains
DMC floss, you can't be 100% sure. They don't necessarily kit up the kits
themselves. Generally all kits for a specific designer will contain the
same brand of floss (whatever that may be). I know that the last TW kit I
bought from Janlynn did contain DMC floss since it included a couple of
complete skeins with the DMC number on it.
I still like Janlynn kits better than any other kits I have purchased.
