How can I and should I convert a colour guide?
Most cross-stitch designs list both a DMC and Anchor colour for each symbol. There are however designs which combine both DMC and Anchor, such as petit point designs. If this is the case follow the conversion charts we have listed under Free Stuff. For cotton floss see Free Stuff/Conversion Charts/Anchor to DMC floss. However, please be careful, not all conversions are exact matches. Conversion charts are only guides to suggest the closest colour from the other brand. Lay out all the converted colours before stitching to see how all the colours look together. If one or two don’t fit into their colour family just keep the original. It will not affect the look of your finished piece if Anchor & DMC are mixed. Remember, the colours listed are the ones the designer intended.
