To give you the most accurate representation of every shade, the thread images used on this page are sourced from the official websites of their respective floss manufacturers. Please note that a perfect conversion is not always possible due to the limited colors provided by manufacturers. You can see my suggestions below for the closest representation of the palette across different brands, but feel free to adapt these shades to suit your project.
