Is there anywhere I can obtain a color chart that will show the old number and the new? I have always been able to take the number to the store and buy more thread. Now I have a hard time coming up with the color I need to continue a project. I am also not happy about the fact that the amount on the spool is less and the price is more. (300 yds compared to 250 yds. Thanks for the information.
I also am interested in having a chart relating the old Coats and Clark Dual Duty thread to the new numbering system, with color names included. Right now, the majority of my threads are old-style, and I will need to convert them.
How can I get a chart for the old Coats and Clark Duty Thread to the new numbering system
with color names included. I know there is one because Joann’s Fabrics has one but they keep it put up so if no one is there you don’t know what mumber matches the old numbers. Please let me know how to get a copy of chart change old to new.

I need a color chart converting the old thread to the new numbers. Also if the Serger thread has changed I need a chart with those numbers on it also. I sew all the time making Indian Pow Wow clothing using regular sewing thread and Serger threads.
Need a general color chart that I can use for my customers so that they
can select the color of thread that they want to use for the embroidery
on their ‘bag tags’

I was looking for a Coats and Clark Color Chart for Dual Duty Plus and found a chart that shows the old Dual Duty Plus colors and converts them to the new Dual Duty XP colors. The website is: http://www.makeitcoats.com/en-us/images/DDXP_Color%20Conversion%20Guide_tcm72-172231.pdf. I hope this helps those requesting the conversion chart.
