Pearsall's stout floss
I know that we have a colour chart for Gossamer silk but does anyone have a colour chart for Pearsall Stout Floss.
I bought some wooden spools with the stout floss but there are missing some numbers.

Ruard, Howdy;
I went to the refrence section of the LINKS page;
and found this;
http://www.libstudio.com/References/Pea ... _Sheet.pdf
Scroll down to the second page and the written section will show the reference
for which color is used in which type of thread... Hope this is what you are looking
for.
OR ..... check this out;

Top section lists colors and in () has numbers.

Re: Pearsall's stout floss
Hi Hank,
Thank you for the link. The first one is all about Gossamer, Napels and Marabou Silk, but stout floss has other numbers. In the second link I miss the colours with the numbers, a description is quite poor.
thanks anyway.

Ruard, Howdy;
Perhaps, if you were to email the second link,
they may be better able to help with your quest.

Re: Pearsall's stout floss
Speaking of "Stout," does it separate into individual plies like Marabou, or is it simply a hank of silk?

Re: Pearsall's stout floss
Ha, thanks Ray.
BTW, Hank: don't knock silk--makes for a great underlayer for hikers. (Of course I'd wear mesh pantyhose as an insulating layer if I could find it in my size. )
