Robison-Anton to Madeira Thread Conversion Chart

Quick answer: this chart lists 123 Robison-Anton Poly (40 wt polyester) colors and the matching Madeira Polyneon #40 polyester color for each one. Find your Robison-Anton number, read across to the Madeira Polyneon number, and order the cone or spool from the same row.

Both threads are 40 weight trilobal polyester, so a Madeira Polyneon swap runs on the same needle (75/11) and tension as Robison-Anton Poly — you only change the color number on your thread chart.
