no problem. Unfortunately they're only "local" in the very loosest sense of the word, or I'd wander over myself!

I have a fair amount of older DMC that I'd be willing to send your way if you have number that did work.

I don't know about Anchor, but doesn't either WDW or GAST have a Pewter that is a solid shade. I know I've seen it (and it's not in my stash or I'd share). I remember thinking it was spot on color wise.

Did you look at DMC 414? I am using it in a piece, now and it is a steel grey. Check it out.

I have old and new dmc 318 413 414 415 I need all shades and the new is too blue. I wondered about other fibers but there isn't a shop around anymore for me to run to. I bought some Anchor and I hope it works. I am working on a boy scout eagle project. The book however is old and the patches have changed The eagle is pewter.now. Donna

I'm pretty sure that Anchor has a grey series. For floss, I tend to use Anchor, and I have a fair amount - but I'll have to go find the color card and look.

Someone else mentioned GAST and WDW - who both have some very nice greys, as does Carrie's Creations. They're all variegated, but some not so much.

How soon do you need it - at least one of our LNS stocks the full Anchor line, and there's half a chance I can find some in my stash - but if you need someone to go look for you - I'd do it - though the long distance thing isn't so good for color sharing. If I find some in my stash, I can photo and e-mail you.

Thanks. I did order some from a shop. They say its greyer than dmc but that doesn't say much. Old DMC had great grey and I found an odd number that was light grey. I have some over dyed from an old project somewhere.I used to do whole projects with just overdyes and specialty fibers But I want a new dye lot in case I need extra. I hate running out of floss in the middle and not have the right dye lot. Been there done that. Thanks again Donna
