Danish 'Odense Broderier' thread numbers

by Margaret
(Cambridge, England)

I've recently been to Denmark and picked up 2 old cross stitch charts with 'OB' (Odense Brodierier) numbers for OB Almuegarn.

These don't match up with any other make of mouline thread I can find, and I can find no info on the company.

I've contacted the Danish Haandarbejdets Fremme who say that the OB threads were converted to DMC mouline ones.

I have a DMC chart and the numbers in no way match up, nor do they match Anchor or the Danish flower threads. e.g. the reds used are 103, 113, 115, 117, greens are 412, 415, 433, 437. Can anyone help?
