Hallo zusammen! Ich wollte fragen, ob jemand aus der Kreuzstich-Community mir vielleicht weiterhelfen kann. Ich habe ein riesiges Projekt begonnen und daran schon seit einigen Jahren gearbeitet. Ich bin zu 88 % fertig, aber mir geht das DMC#3799 aus. Als ich mit dem Projekt begann, habe ich nicht genug Knäuel von 3799 gekauft, und vor ein paar Jahren hat DMC die Farbe dieses Farbtons geändert, und die neue Farbe ist etwas anders. Da das Projekt 762 x 999 Stiche groß ist, hatte ich damals nicht genug Geld, um all das benötigte Garn zu kaufen, und ehrlich gesagt dachte ich nicht, dass es sich so ändern würde. Aber ich kann den Unterschied zwischen der alten und der neuen Charge sehen, und es stört mich, dass sie unterschiedlich sind. Ich bin schon so kurz vor dem Abschluss dieses Projekts und werde natürlich die neue Charge verwenden, wenn ich keine andere Wahl habe. Bevor ich das tue, möchte ich aber überall nachsehen. Die neue Charge hat einen Punkt (.) nach der Nummer 3799 und ist überall erhältlich, aber die alte Charge wurde aus dem Sortiment genommen. Ich hoffe, dass jemand Informationen darüber hat, wo ich möglicherweise noch die alte Charge kaufen kann. Ich werde mich auch an DMC wenden. Jede Hilfe und jeden Vorschlag wäre ich sehr dankbar! Vielen Dank!
Hello everyone!

I was wondering maybe someone from cross stitch community can point me to the right direction. I started supersize project and been working on it for few years now. I'm 88% done, but I'm running out of DMC#3799. When I started the project, I did not buy enough skeins of 3799, and a couple years ago DMC changed the dye in this number and the new color is slightly different. Because the project is 762x999 stitches I did not have enough money to buy all the floss I needed at the time, and to be honest I did not think it would change like that. But, I can see the difference between old lot and new lot, so it's bothering me that they are different. I'm already so close from completing this project and of course will use new lot, if I will have no other choice. Before I do that, I wanted to check everywhere I can. The new lot has a dot (.) after the number 3799 and its available everywhere, but old lot was pulled. I'm hoping maybe someone has information where i can possibly buy the old lot. I will also check with DMC as well.
Alny help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Where do you live?  I have several skeins and none have a dot after the number.  I would be happy to send you some if you aren't too far away.

I found this on the internet which may be of interest.

If the dot appears after the number (like 3799.), it is generally an internal DMC manufacturing or dye-lot routing code, not a color formula change.

Yes, I have run into this too and it makes me mad. A few suggestions for next time if you think you are going to run out soon 'mix' the old with the new. Take one strand of old and new put together and stitch as usual. Sometimes this makes the color change less obvious then continue on with the new. Most patterns list the of amount of stitches per color.  Use this a guide only. All depends on each individual stitchers technique. I will usually buy an extra skein to be safe.
14-count Aida: ~1,500 to 1,800 stitches.....16-count Aida: ~2,000 stitches...18-count Aida: ~2,200 stitches.

My rule for buying a lot of floss the same color,  newer dmc skeins have a number on the label that has the barcode on it. The number is right abovd the barcode. I was told that was the dye lot of that particular run. So I purchase them with all of the same numbers. If you need around 12 I would purchase a 'box' of floss from a retail shop, the box has 12 skeins.

Best of luck in your search and project.

It's weird, I've been stitching for 30+ years and I've never had a "dye lot" DMC problem.

Sorry I didn't hear from you, I was willing to send you some skeins, I guess you have sorted it out for yourself.
