NOTES:
* Weeks Dye Works 4123 – Celebration is so variegated in color that this is not comparable in any of the other floss lines.
**
Best match Sullivans and DMC colors are provided. However, please keep
in mind that it is very difficult to select a solid color of floss in
those instances where an over-dyed variegated floss is used. An attempt
has been made to select solid colors that work together and compliment
the design.
