floss for the Renaissance Cross pattern
I would like to do this for a friend, but she asked for it to be in maroon or mauve threads. I've looked at the MAUVE and chose the following #'s....can you tell me if these would be correct for this pattern:

DMC - items: L778, 3802, 3605, 316, and 3688.

This is a chat room for stitchers(just so you know). Do you have a DMC floss chart? If not , ECS has a chart for DMC that shows all the colors. If you want to talk to ECS, they will be in tomorrow (9 to 5). It kind of comes down to personal choice and I think if you look at the chart, you would get a pretty good direction of how the colors go together. I looked up these colors and they seem like they will make a beautiful piece. On this site, we stitchers get advice from each other, or just touch base. Have you picked out your material yet? ECS also lists the materials (color, feel, thread count) on their website.Good luck. Pam

As Pam stated it comes down to personal choice. I looked at my DMC color chart and 3605 is discontinue. As there are 6 colors in this pattern and there are 6 antique mauves and you have listed 3 of them here is all 6 #'s, 778, 3727, 316, 3726, 315, and 3802. Hopes this helps.
