hi again can't find DMC retors on any of my usual online suppliers, so it probably has been discontinued a few (?possibly more than a few?) years ago, but DMC Broder Machine 50 should be a pretty close substitute (as should Madeira's Cotona 50 or Finca cotton - haven't got my copy of threads for lace handy to check whether 40/50/60 is the nearest equivalent of the Finca ones)
