Zweigart Victorian Xmas Green

[Offe]

I promised my sister to stitch one of Alessandra Adélaïde's trees. She wants a very dark green fabric and I want an evenweave or linen fabric count 28 or 32. Zweigart has this product that would fit the bill:

3270/685/55 52% Cotton, 48% Rayon (formerly BRITTNEY) Vict Xmas Green

From another web page I got the info that the color is that of DMC floss 890.

Where can I buy this, or something like it? I prefer to order within Europe as to avoid the extra taxes.

I found these sites that were close for the colors.
Pine green:

http://www.xstitchcrafts.com/fabric-zwe ... 20a&page=2
Christmas green:

The only Vict Xmas Green I found was for 25 ct Wichelt lugana. This site also has a dark green in the 28 ct Zweigart. You'll have to click on the Lugana & then sort by color, count, manufacturer, whatever:

Hope you can find what you're looking for.

Offe, the important bit in the number is "685", this is the colour number. I have seen it described both as Christmas Green and Victorian Green, but if you give any seller the colour number they will get you the right one, whatever name they give it. Zweigart 685 is indeed closest to DMC 890.
