website for substitute floss....

Okay so a while back...a long while back someone posted a website that you would put in a floss number and it would give you 5 or so "next" best matches. I have lost this link can anyone help me remember it lol.

Matching DMC to DMC (ie: ran out of 321, what DMC is the closest to that?)?

Is this Floss Conversion Charts at Cyber Stitchers.com of any help to you? If you do a search quite a few others come up. This one at Needlepointers.com has a lot of charts to pick from. And looks like a lot of other good info also. off to bookmark another site.

This isn't what you're looking for, but it might be helpful. This newsletter has the conversion chart for discontinued DMC colors. I've found it helpful when doing a pattern that was charted prior to 2005 (of which I have quite a few).

thanks you all for looking. ugh I remeber the post and can remember the site just no the link.
it was a very basic webpage and you would type in like 314 and it would give you the "closest" suggestions to that color and even a bit of an image with that color so you could choose. i think it was really for people making their own patterns but it could be used other ways.

I can't even think of a way to ask the question so that I can do a proper search for this. I did find this at Cyberstitcher and this at Yarn Tree. Not exactly what you are looking for. The best option is probably the DMC actual color chart with the floss samples. I had an old one, but like many other things have "misplaced" it. Let us know if you do find the website you are looking for.
