About this chart
DMC six-strand embroidery floss (Mouliné Spécial, also sold as stranded cotton) is the thread most cross-stitch patterns use. Each color has a number, and that number is what you match at the shop. Numbers like 310 (black) and B5200 (snow white) appear in almost every pattern.
Screens can't show thread colors exactly, so treat these swatches as a guide. If a color really matters, check it against real floss or a printed DMC card. See our DMC thread guide for strands, skeins and how much to buy.
Color data adapted from an open dataset (MIT license, sharlagelfand/dmc, based on adrianj/CrossStitchCreator). DMC is a trademark of DMC; Thread & Hoop isn't affiliated with DMC. DMC adds new colors from time to time, so a very new number may not be listed.
