Cross Stitch/Delica beed numbers and floss numbers

Question
Is there a chart to convert embroidery floss numbers,  (DMC or Anchor) into Delica bead numbers?  I'd like to use a cross stitch pattern on a loom to make a bracelet.

Thanks!

Answer
Hello, Kathy

Not that I'm aware of.  I know of a conversion chart from DMC to Anchor and vice versa.  I would suggest that you take the color of the beads and try and manually match them to the floss color.  That's the only way that I know of offhand.

I hope that helps.  Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
