Bericht komt uit Engeland en zal kan ik me voorstellen ook voor ons gaan gelden:
Ik las onderstaande in mijn mailbox en voor wie de Engelse tal niet machtig is:
DMC gaat vanwege Europese Wetgeving kleuren wijzigen. Het gaat om de nrs: 304, 321, 498, 815 en 816.
Er kunnen onder bepaalde lichtomstandigheden kleurverschillen tussen de oude en nieuwe verfbaden ontstaan.
Vanaf nu door DMC geleverde strengen zullen de nieuwe verf betreffen; strengen te herkennen met “a” voor of na het nummer.
Dear Mijna
DMC THREAD ALERT
DMC have just announced that due to - Yes, you've guessed it - European Legislation, it is having to change the dyes used in the production of it's threads. The vast majority of colours are unaffected however there is an issue with the following normal stranded (117 code) numbers 304, 321, 498, 815 and 816. The problem is that a shade difference between the old dye and the new one may be noticeable under certain lighting conditions.
All new threads now supplied by DMC will use the new dyes and for the above numbers will be identifiable by a “.” before or after the thread number.
I still have some stocks of existing batches but obviously they are very limited. If you are likely to require additional threads in these colours
304
321
498
815
816
