GENTLE ART SAMPLER THREADS TO DMC
CONVERSION CHART

Sampler Threads are exciting and fun to stitch with, and give your needlework a faded, antiqued look.

Your needlework projects stitched with "SAMPLER THREADS™" will never be a carbon copy of everyone else's because each skein is unique in itself.  Consistent, lightfast, colorfast, with heirloom quality and longevity, but as with any hand done process, there can be slight variations within each dyelot.

   The DMC equivalent is listed after each color name. If there is a   ,   between numbers, that means you could use either DMC shade.  If there is a  /  between numbers, that means you should blend one ply of each of the two DMC shades to capture the color.

   This conversion chart is approximate as it's difficult to capture the color shading within the hand-dyed fibers, and also due to dye lot changes.  The suggestions here are not provided by either The Gentle Art nor DMC.  The look you get with DMC will not resemble the pictured model of the design you are converting from due to the subtle shading of color within each strand of the Sampler Threads.
