Recommended Floss: Weeks Dye Works - I have included my own comments on some of the color substitutes

  • Raspberry (DMC 3802) Good match
  • Pebble (DMC 3042/644) DMC 644 has greenish tint NOTE: 2 skeins needed
  • Mulberry (DMC 3740) Not a good match
  • Scuppermong (DMC 3364) NOTE: 2 skeins needed
  • Williamsburg Blue (DMC 317) Not even close
  • Red Pear (DMC 223) Very close
  • Purple Haze (DMC 3041) Good match but PH is slightly darker. NOTE: 2 skeins needed if working on 28ct
  • Gold (DMC 612/729)
  • Moss (DMC 580) NOTE: DMC 580/581 a better match
