Help, Mabel: a silk query

[Serinde]

Do you have any idea if there is
1. A DMC to Soie Perlee conversion chart?
2. What the relationship between the soie perlee numbers and soie d'Algers numbers might be?

my brain hurts

[Mabel Figworthy]

Serinde, the Soie d'Alger shade card I've got (well, a pdf version), says that there is a separate shade card for Soie Perlee, Soie Surfine and Soie 100/3, but doesn't say where to get it I can't find it on their website.
Needle in a Haystack do a good range of Soie Perlee with clear photographs here but I understand that's no substitute for a shade card and the only conversion tables I can find are between DMC and Soie d'Alger.
I'll keep looking!

[Serinde]

The Needle in a Haystack photos are pretty good, and very useful. I'm thinking of a choice between 106, 650, 664 or 779 for reds but the greens are proving difficult -- a choice: 271, 620, 659, 700, or 715. Can't really get them all. Maybe I should try and buy a shade card...

[Mabel Figworthy]

I have a sneaking preference for a different red altogether, 681. But it depends what you think is most authentic/suitable/attractive for your particular design, of course.

And 656 is a lovely green, though perhaps a bit too dark for your purpose?

[Serinde]

681 is very nice...

[Mabel Figworthy]

They all are, that's the problem !

[Serinde]

An understatement.

[Mabel Figworthy]

How big is that grant ?

[Serinde]

Oh, don't tempt me!!
