DMC vs J&P Coats

Posted by Laurie L Weber
Thank you for having the conversion chart of DMC to J&P Coats. But, I must be finding really old J&P skeins as they have only 2 numbers, some have the number and A, the next one B. Any ideas?

I am having the same issue. Can anyone point me to an actual conversion chart for J & P Coats to DMC that contains any numbers that might match the numbers printed on the J & P Coats skeins?

I posted a comment on their website,
http://www.makeitcoats.com
, and they emailed me a pdf chart right away. I also found this chart online which is useful if you have old Clark's/Anchor thread:

I too have a large quantity of old floss from J&P Coats marked 5,8,12 and 15 cents on the color label. The chart that was mentioned does not contain any of the floss that is this old or have I missed it. I have numbers as: 7-A, 90-A, 59-B, 5-A and so forth. The floss is in great shape and would like to use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After much searching I ended up on www.redheart.com I mentioned my problem which is the same as yours and today they mailed me a conversion chart with these very very old numbers. Let me know if I can help you with any of them '=

It would be of so much help if i can also get a jpcoats to dmc (or vice versa) conversion chart.
I have tons of embroidery floss but i cant seem to match to dmc colors.
