Oh, look! Mary Corbet has posted a list of bead conversion links! The conversion charts give you color equivalencies between thread brands and bead brands (or between bead brands) so you can substitute threads for beads (and vice versa) or change brands if that's all that you have available, and also makes it easy to order long distance. You can call your favorite shop and ask for a Mill Hill bead that you know is close to DMC color number X for your next project, for example.

Thanks once again, Mary!
