Most craft shops have books that give you the DMC number as it correlates to other dye numbers - or you could call or e-mail the company and ask them to send you some thread only - even though it's not specifically on their website they may send you some.

What brand is the thread and what size? There are conversion charts for equivalent colors to switch between brands if you need to.
If you can, try to finish the area you're working on in the thread that you have and do the next area in the new thread. Switching in the middle can cause a line where the colors are slightly different, so place the change where it's not as noticable. It can happen even with the same brand of thread due to different dye lots, but if you're switching brands it's guaranteed to happen.
Good luck! And perhaps you'll share the company name so we know who not to buy kits from?

Some companies only give their number/color information for the thread they send in a kit. Somewhere in your instructions you should have contact information for questions and problems. If it looks like you're going to run out of this color you can contact the company using that information and usually they will send it out free or let you purchase more.
If you were at the company's web site you may also be able to contact them that way. Just make sure to include information on what project you were working on and what supplies you need.

Yes, there is a wide variety of fibers that can be used for needlepoint including wool, silk, cotton, and novelty threads. Most independent needlepoint shops carry a selection of these fibers and can also advise you on the quantity you will need for your project. The color range in these various fibers is huge, so you should be able to find the one you are looking for.

You're in a pickle. My best advice would be to take a section of the yarn or thread to a craft , or needle craft shop, and try to match it up. You should also take your project with you, just to make sure.

It may be that the thread you need can be found thru the independent shop networks. However, you will need to supply a bit more information - like the brand name

I would call a craft store online store department nd ask for the color...or call a local craft store and ask if they have and if they could mail some to you....offer to pay the postage and most likely they will do it !!!
OR EBAY ???
