正在尋找用於 DMC 的舊地塊 3799

大家好！我想知道，也許有人可以從十字繡社群中為我指明方向。我開始了一個超大型的專案，並且已經在上面工作了好幾年。我完成了 88%，但我的 DMC#3799 用完了。當我開始這個專案時，我沒有買足夠的線，而且幾年前 DMC 更改了這種顏色的染料，新的顏色略有不同。由於這個專案是 762x999 針數，所以我當時沒有足夠的錢來購買我需要的全部繡線，老實說，我也沒想到它會發生這樣的變化。但是，我可以看出舊批次和新批次之間的差異，所以它們的不同讓我感到困擾。我已經非常接近完成這個專案了，當然如果別無選擇，我會使用新的批次。在這樣做之前，我想盡可能地檢查所有地方。新的批次在編號 3799 之後有一個點 (.)，而且它隨處可見，但舊批次已經停產。我希望有人可以提供資訊，告訴我是否有可能購買到舊批次。我也會向 DMC 詢問。任何幫助和建議都將不勝感激！謝謝！

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.
