I...kinda sorta bought some more embroidery floss today. Three thread packs at Hobby Lobby. They package it as "Artiste" but it's actually manufactured in Mexico by a company that sometimes goes by "Hilo Iris" and other times simply by "Iris." I found a color list from 2011 online, and a DMC conversation chart they compiled themselves. But, being the OCD idiot I am, I decided to try to match the threads myself...
@lemmy_stitch @crossstitch @embroidery @textilearts @fiberarts @fibrearts So! I've posted the Iris Color Chart, their conversions and my own conversions in case anyone else buys Hobby Lobby's thread packs and wants to have an easy(er) time of converting to DMC. They are the Primary, Pastel and Variegated Colors thread packs, and Iris apparently sells to Michael's and other retailers too. #HappyStitching! ๐
