I just checked the web and Thumbelina still carries Danish flower 
thread.  This is a store in Solvang, California, originally settled by 
Danes and a tourist spot.  The URL is

Note that the Danish Handcraft Guild (real) Danish flower thread has a 
different numbering system from the DMC flower thread.  Thumbelina has 
a color card available for USD 10.


The DMC Flower thread - 'Fil Fleur' - was discontinued several years 
ago.  The Danish Handcraft Guild's flower thread - 'Originalt Dansk 
Blomstergarn' is still available.  I haven't seen a size on either 
thread, but the Originalt Dansk Blomstergarn is a little thicker at 20 
wraps/cm than the DMC version at 23 wraps/cm was.

If you can't get flower thread substitutes would be Anchor Pearl 12 or 
DMC perle 12 (both 21 wraps/cm) although pearl cottons are mercerised 
and so shinier than flower thread.
