DMC to Anchor Thread Conversion Chart

This is a free DMC to Anchor thread conversion chart for cross-stitch and embroidery. Find your DMC color below or use the filter box, and you will see the closest Anchor match along with how close the two colors really are.

No two thread brands use the same dyes, so a conversion is always a closest match, not an identical color. We label every match as high, medium, or low so you know when the colors are nearly indistinguishable and when they only share a family. For anything where color is critical, hold the real threads together in daylight before you commit.

This chart covers all 470 Anchor stranded cotton colors, cross-checked against multiple published Anchor and DMC charts so the matches stay reliable.

DMC to Anchor conversion FAQ

Is every Anchor color in this chart?

Yes. All 470 Anchor stranded cotton colors are included.

What do high, medium, and low mean?

They describe how close the two colors are. High means the match is nearly indistinguishable. Medium means it is a good, usable match with a slight shift. Low means the colors are in the same family but visibly different, so check it in person first.

Why is there no perfect equivalent?

Each brand mixes its own dyes, so colors rarely line up exactly across brands. A conversion finds the nearest available color, which is why some matches are closer than others.

How do I convert Anchor back to DMC?

Use the Anchor to DMC chart, which runs the conversion in the other direction.

Can I see the colors side by side?

Yes. The StitchLand Floss Library shows every color as a swatch and includes an interactive converter across all of our brands.
