I am afraid UK Paterna is no more. The Craft Collection who manufactured it under license gave up earlier in the year. UK stitchers will have to swap to imported US Paternayan.
It is not all doom and gloom though. The US range has shades not in the UK range, many of which are very similar to the old UK 'D' numbers. We manufacture a range of kits using Paterna, including Jill Gordon's designs, so we have just had a major exercise to swap over!
Cheers,

elderberry22,
I have entered your '0s' in a spreadsheet: Old2New, and New2Old. When you finish publishing them I will be glad to send the spreadsheet on to any who request it. Thanks for taking the time to type them in.

Hi,
I have this same book and am wanting to do Chilly Observation. Did the magazine you purchased help with the conversion of colors? If so, are you willing to share? Thank you!

Thank you so much for doing this. I too have been in touch with Saco Dye in Maine, who took over from JCA, without any success. Pure fluke that I came across this Google forum with these 11 year old posts, but I am very happy to have this information.
I know this thread is 12 years old, but I was hoping it was still active somehow. Elderberry22 was kindling listing the conversion chart number of old to new Paternayan yarn colors, but the listing stops with old 430, and the old numbering system kept going up from there. Was the rest of the conversion numbers ever listed?
