Floss colors DMC 3847, 3850, 3851
Three of the floss colors in this project are unavailable in the stores. Is there a color substitution for them?

I am enjoying working on this picture. The chart is well made and very easy to follow.

Thank you

Hi,
Everything Cross Stitch has the 6-strand DMC floss colors you are looking for under the "Floss & Thread" title in the sub-menu on your left. You might want to consider buying them from here.

Happy Holidays!

Hi gjschmick,

Thanks for your message. This is our design. So glad you are enjoying it.

Sorry to hear you have had trouble locating these three colours, they have not been discontinued and should be readily available.

If your local stores do not have them you may be able to ask them to order them in for you. Alternatively there are plenty of stores online who sell these DMC floss colours including this one, Eveything Cross Stitch, as per Bermudas suggestion above.

Hope this information helps, please let me know if you have any further queries.

Thanks and Best Wishes

As you already know there is a lot of shading in this lovely pattern. I pulled out my stash and find many of these shades are very close. For example #3847 is very close to #3818 which is also one of the suggested flosses.

Since this is an Artecy pattern it will tell you how many stitches you will be making with each color. MY OPINION is that it won't matter if you eliminate a particular color. You are going to be switching colors frequently. A few stitches will not be obvious.

Don't follow my advice if a slight variation will bother you.

If you have a local store that you shop at I am surprised that these colors are not available.

I have one extra each of those floss colors. Interested?

Does this kit come with anything or just the pattern?

The category states: Pattern.
So you would need to buy pattern, floss and fabric.

U can order your floss from ECS. they do have all the number. Just go on customer service and order what you have in mind and in a few days you will get what U have in mind.
