Brands of embroidery floss by msrevellious 7 years ago

I have a couple of non-DMC brands of embroidery floss: one is called Royal, and it says it's French thread, made by Castor, or Kaste maybe? in Greece... and the other is WRC. Anyone heard of either of these? Does anyone have colour charts or know where I can find them? I did what I felt was an extensive Google search and didn't come up with anything for either brand... it feels like the names are too generic, so I get a lot of results for them that aren't related to embroidery thread... or accurate brands (the Royal thread was definitely not made in India, or China...)

Thanks for any help... preferably I'd love to find a colour chart conversion to DMC, but I know I'm pretty much dreaming on that one...

Royal is a French brand, yes ^^ You can't really find anything in english about buying it. If you understand french, you can tap "fil a broder royal" in your google bar. I don't know about the other...

Hmm... no, that's not the same company either. The logo looks totally different, and Brin doesn't seem to make cotton embroidery floss, like the one i have - they just have cones of polyester or rayon thread: http://www.brin.fr/fils_a_broder.php

This is why it's so difficult to find anything on Google related to them - the obfuscation due to many, many different companies using the word "Royal" as their brand :P My packaging has both Greek lettering and French on it... so wondering if anyone knows anything about that...
