WANTED - Rayon floss!

Post by Junction »

I cannot find this locally and want to use it on a car for my son. I need the following DMC rayon colors:

415
318
413
3799
310
3024
648
646
000

I am willing to pay for these (with paypal) plus the shipping. Please post with price and shipping cost. These DO NOT have to be unused but a majority of the skein would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

I will make a trip into Micheal's some time this week and see what I can find. I may not be able to get them all from there but I know of an LNS that may have a better selection. The prices are a bit higher so I will let you know what they are before buying any. Just in case you are not sure. You will have to give me a couple days though as I have to work. :lol:

Sounds great! I am not in a big hurry! He's very patient and understanding. I explained to him yesterday what the situation was and he even offered to pick something else, but he rarely asks for stuff like this so I really want to do this Mustang for him!

I heard they were fasing them out, the rayons, in favour of their new satin range; I bought some rayon on eBay and they were just clearing up stock so some colours weren't available anymore. Perhaps they still do them in America? I think someone said here that some of the colours which are no longer available in Europe are still to be had in the US.

I am a little confused, I have a few DMC Rayon, the numbers you list do not match mine at all, I looked on this site and am still not sure why yours are different, is it an American conversion?

I think you have to add 30 to the beginning of the numbers (762 becomes 30762). The chart calls for regular embroidery floss, but I want the car to "shine" so I was going to substitute the rayon floss for the car colors.

Hi again. I was just on my way to town to look at the price of rayon thread and decided to do a quick search and see if I could really quick convert the numbers. So this

Is what I found. If you could look and see what colors match the numbers that you would like then once I have found the prices I will have a much better idea of the ones you want. :P

I was at Micheal's and they have the rayon and it is $.99 per plus tax to that would come out to $1.09 per. So if you need me to get them let me know and also what colors you want.
