Where do these equivalents come from?
Neither Mandarin Floss nor Anchor publishes a table from one to the other: each equivalent is the Anchor thread whose screen color is closest, measured with the ΔE2000 difference.
The other 102 get the Anchor thread closest on screen. 62 of the 102 equivalents have a difference below 5, which is very close. The Stixiva workshop makes the same choice when you switch a whole pattern from Mandarin Floss to Anchor.
Sources: Mandarin Floss Rainbow Gallery Mandarin Floss range from the maker’s page; screen colors from CrazyArtZone (DMC).

Another question? Write to contact@stixiva.com.
Is the Mandarin Floss to Anchor conversion exact?
No: two brands never have exactly the same shades. Neither brand publishes a table to the other, so we give the Anchor thread closest on screen, with the ΔE2000 difference (below 2 is barely visible; above 10 the difference shows).
How do I convert a whole list of Mandarin Floss threads to Anchor?
Search this chart one number at a time. In the Stixiva workshop, « Changer de marque » (change brand) converts every thread of a pattern from Mandarin Floss to Anchor at once. The Stixiva workshop itself is in French for now; the English interface is on its way.
Are the colors on screen accurate?
They are approximate display colors. Always compare with a real skein before buying, especially for a large background.
Switch a whole pattern to Anchor
In the workshop, one click converts every thread of a pattern from Mandarin Floss to Anchor and updates the shopping list.
