- DMC/Miyuki Delica equivalents
Extensive personal study of DMC floss and Delicas conducted by yours truly, with help from Caravan Beads® Inc., during late 1998 in Orlando, Florida. Results were then extrapolated for other threads, with some effort to correlate thread and bead textures (shiny, matte).

Various retail catalogs, including the 1999 catalog from Nordic Needle.
- Miyuki Delica color names
Spring, 1999, catalog from Caravan Beads® Inc.
Please note that thread and bead manufacturers generally do not assign color names; the names given here are those commonly used by retailers and designers, but are not "official" and you may see different names in other sources.
