DMC 724 Classic Pooh Gold

Im doing an old Winnie The Pooh birth chart with Pooh in colour DMC724. This colour is so obsolete it isnt even showing up in the thread charts anymore.
I  have checked, it is NOT a typo, and a lot of the old Pooh charts used this colour.


To anyone that has done a Winnie The Pooh chart recently - I was wondering what colour you ended up using????

If memory does not fail me, DMC discontinued 724 sometime before 2009 or around that time, not sure which colour you could use instead, why not refer to the DMC shade card i am sure that will be a great help

The problem is Im not a huge fan of Pooh so I wouldnt necessarily recognise the exact shade, and I have no idea what the original 724 looked like to measure it against.

I found a FAQ list; somebody asked if they ever discontinued colors.  The answer was no, and there was a link to the list of colors.  There was no 724 on that list.  I dont believe that they never discontinue numbers because I have found other colors that show up under a new number now.  Can you just find a color that might be close to the color of Pooh?

Hello again R Lee, just checked with a friend, she has informed me  that she used anchor 298 for winnie the pooh, unfortunately she too was unable to get 724, as per her DMC discontinued 724 aeons ago....

Thanks for bringing this up- have made a note in my DMC color list. :)

Just an update:

I went to the store for Anchor298, the suggested substitute colour - they didnt have it, but they did have the DMC equivalent -  DMC972 !!

I bought it just in case, and it appears to be exactly the same as the chart design!!! So anyone else looking for 724 can just use 972
