Linen embroidery thread chart 16/2

Swedish linen embroidery floss for the reenactor, historical costumer, garb maker or embroiderer who works in linens.

Here are the results of several hours of  trying to match the colors on the screen to the colors on the charts.
    I have come to the conclusion that with the tools I have, it can't be done. When I get one set of colors looking good, the other sets are tinged, etc. So, taking the best of the lot, I give you these.   

    This is the 16/2 linen embroidery floss. The greens should be a little greener. But when I get them greener, so are all the other colors.....sigh.

    Which do I have?     The article number of those I should have according to my packing list, are listed below the chart.  Please note! Because they are listed doesn't mean that I have them at the moment!!! Please email me to check. There are a whole bunch of boxes with several colors of skeins in them. I have to go through them all.    I'm just one person trying to do everything and it takes more time than I have to keep an updated list of skeins as well as the floor vacuumed, the bills paid and the boning counted.

    Why do I have such weird colors and not the common colors? Because I bought out the last of the importer's stock. They will no longer sell this. I will now have to order a box of 10 if I want a color and I must order it from Sweden.
    If I don't have the color you need and you only need one skein, I'm sorry but you'll have to look elsewhere for it. If you want 7 skeins, I'll order a box  and keep the rest on hand. However, I really can't order one box at a time to be cost effective, unless you want to pay the total cost of shipping from Sweden for your order.
 
   THIS IS OUT-OF-DATE.... I'M SORRY... I WILL UPDATE THIS AS SOON AS I'VE FINISHED MY 2006 end of year INVENTORY.  I will be making an order for Sweden around the 12th of December 2006. EMAIL ME FOR CURRENT STOCK or if you want to make a special order.

PRICE IS:  $2.00/skein
