I emailed the link to Carolyn at the shop. If any more come in, I can
send them to.

She also liked Ellice's idea of pink hairdressing tape, so sent that on
to her, too.

Linda's link is a good one. Crescent - when it was quite new - had a
substitution on their web site, but she then decided to take it down and
leave it down. Just a point to bring up - the dye lots on Crescent are
incredibly inconsistent. As IME, probably the worst of the dyed cottons.
So, the substitution list - which is usually linked to the assumed base
color - has to be taken with a grain of salt so to speak. I really like the
thread to stitch with ( and I think she may actually dye on Anchor, as do
Threadworx & Weeks) - but it's important to buy enough at one shot. Also,
WRT the substituting for plain floss - what the designer may have used for
the sample, may look somewhat different from the dye lot of that color in a
shop, and so you have to look at it when doing a substitution to solid.

The pink hairdressing tape is one I got from a class at ANG Seminar years
ago. It is a great one. Thanks for including it.

What did I miss???


My current, personal favorite for overdyes are the Carries Creations. Yummy.

Though both Crescent Colors and Carries have a color with Cheryl in the
title.

You didn't miss much. I was in my LNS yesterday, spending money, and
Carolyn asked me if I knew of a Crescent Colors conversion chart. I
listed here, and sure enough, Linda came up eith the link.

What I bought is the Mirabilia "L" fairy, and the fabric, some of the
CCs to do it. I am stitching it for DGD Lauren's thirteenth birthday.

Hugs (know you can use them)

Gill
