Hi everyone... I tried Googling to see if anyone had a conversion list for these threads, and I couldn't find one. So I'm going to try to start one here - I hope those of you that buy this thread will chime in and we could make a list here.

I know I'm not the only one that wishes fabric.com would put the Aurifil #'s on their product listings - but they don't.

I just bought what looked like a light grey... but had the name "Light Blue Grey"... and I should not have gone by the picture - this color looks like the highlight on a peacock... more bluey than grey.

So can we try to do this to make a nice list? How about this:

1. If you're going to add a color, copy and paste this list into a new post . That way, if someone wants to, they can easily copy and paste the list into their computer and print it out - all from one place instead of having to drag through pages of posts here. (just tryin' to be helpful)

2. Be super careful with the numbers you add as well as the name that it is called on the fabric.com site. Use the *exact* numbers and names. Double check for typos before you post, please.

3. The product number: This is the large number above the barcode on the label on the bag that your thread came in. Please double check that number to make sure it matches your invoice... and that matches the number online. (I couldn't believe that light blue grey was what it was when it came in - compared to the picture online. !)

4. Let's keep the list in order according to the first column - which is the Aurifil # on the spool, please.

So let me start this out on a new post.... I hope others follow!

Thanks!

Sally

That's weird that they don't put the number. I wonder why not? Have you tried writing them a letter?

OK, now that I got the format down....

I hope someone can tell me if they know what numbers fabric.com uses for these two:

Aurifil #2021 - which (in my words) is a light cream/off white sort of color

Aurifil #2370 - which (in my words) is a dark taupey-tan/khaki sort of color (it's one of my faves)

And... I need a light grey... I bombed *big* thinking that light blue grey was going to be "it".

Thanks

I did before I made my last order - and I didn't get an answer. They obviously don't have this information at their fingertips.

So I hope we can do it.

I like getting it for about $3-4 less a spool there (with their free shipping, too!) Gives me that much more $$ to spend on fabric locally.

Brilliant! Thank you for doing this.

We have a lot of the same ones, but I have a few I can add:

Awesome, Sewnoma!

Thanks for clarifying the #2021... I was thinking it was that one... and I need to order more.

I am odd man out. I use Mettler Silk finished thread and I have a color chart.
