Floss Conversion Chart

floss conversion chart
Where can I find a chart for conversion of Janlynns Designs for the Needle embroidery flosss to DMC?

I have lots of DN embroidery floss, and I like it, but the problem is that none of my projects give me DN numbers, and I always organize my embroidery floss by DMC numbers (with bobbins that have tabs with the DMC number on them for easy find, in numerical order). Having this pile of DN floss that I can’t wind onto a bobbin because I don’t know what number to put them under is frustrating.

I have found the charts at needlepointers.com already, as well as the Sophisticated Stitcher. Neither of these has one for Janlynns Designs for the Needle floss.

I don’t know if this will help you but I found this chart on Janlynn Corp. website.
Each skein of DFN floss is identified with color code numbers. Below is a master list of our DFN floss colors, along with links to listings for each DFN floss pack. Just choose the pack that has the colors you need.
