Which pink for Piglet?

Post by Kute Kitty »

A friend of mine at work has asked me to adjust a birth sampler that her mother's friend did for her when her daughter was born, because her daughter's name has been spelt wrong! The sampler is just a picture of Piglet, with the baby's (well, two-year-old's now) name and birth date backstitched in the same pink as Piglet's ears. Does anyone know what shade colour that would be? Obviously I can try to match it visually with my threads, but if I knew an actual number it'd be a help!

Thank you!

I've done it :) I matched it by sight and it looks very good if I do say so myself :) At last little Kacie can have Piglet on her wall!
