Questions
How many DMC floss colors are there?
This chart lists 489 colors of DMC six-strand embroidery floss (Mouliné Spécial 117), including the newer numbers 01 to 35 and White, B5200 and Ecru.
Why does a color look different from my skein?
Screens and printers cannot show thread exactly. Use the swatches to find a number, then check the real skein, ideally in daylight.
How do I find the DMC number for a color I have?
Use "Closest DMC to a color": pick the color or paste its hex code, and the three nearest DMC numbers appear, measured the way the eye sees color difference.
Can I print this chart?
Yes. Download the free PDF by number or by color family, on Letter or A4 paper. Each color has a box to tick for floss you own.
