I'm afraid I mostly lurk here, but now I am stumped by this problem
and hope somebody can help.
I have bought an Ehrman 12 hpi canvas of a walnut tree, but it comes
without wool. Now I need to identify what wool to get for it, but I
have totally failed to find any conversion chart.
I saw a comment from long ago, saying that 2 strands of Paterna could
be used, but I would rather not have to split the thread as its for my
mother to do. She's 80 and would not find that very easy to deal with.
It wouldn't matter if the colours are not exact, so I guess I could
just take the canvas to my local shop and do a visual compare. But it
would be easier if I can do it all online!
TIA!!

I saw listed on Amazon.com The Ehrman Needlepoint Book. One of the
reviews indicated it contains a conversion chart:
The designs in this book are great. However, the threads used are
mostly Appleton and Paternayan and the book contains a conversion
chart between DMC and Anchor.... Also, no information is given for
differing lengths of thread for each brand. This makes conversion into
a different thread brand extremely difficult.
Maybe you can find this book at your library or a used book store?

Thanks very much for that pointer - strangely, that review doesn't
show on amazon.co.uk. But the reviewer says
"However, the threads used are mostly Appleton and Paternayan and the
book contains a conversion chart between DMC and Anchor.." so I'm not
sure if that will actually help me with this kit, as I assume the
numbers are for their own wool colour list.

Actually, I'd bet they used Appleton numbers. Where's Ellice when we need
her (other than one her way to work on her master teacher cert)
OH DONNA....

Don't look at me. Too bad Ellice is on her way to Milwaukee.
I believe Ehrman is dyeing their own wool now which is a fairly recent
development. Maybe trying contacting their US Distributor?
