Frequently asked questions
How do I search for a DMC color code?
Enter 321 or DMC 321 in the search box. You can also search the English catalog names. Search and the color family filter work together.
Do the swatches exactly match real floss?
The swatches are approximate screen colors. Display settings and lighting mean they cannot guarantee an exact match to real thread. Compare against physical floss or a color card when choosing shades.
Can I keep track of the DMC floss I own?
Yes. Open your floss inventory and record your skein count for each DMC code. Your patterns use this list to show missing colors.
