DMC to Classic Colorworks Conversion Chart

This is a free DMC to Classic Colorworks thread conversion chart for cross-stitch and embroidery. Find your DMC color below or use the filter box, and you will see the closest Classic Colorworks 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.

Classic Colorworks (formerly Crescent Colours) is a hand-dyed line, so a solid DMC color is always an approximation and dye lots vary. This chart covers the 210 Classic Colorworks colors in our library today and grows as we add more of the range.

DMC to Classic Colorworks conversion FAQ

Is every Classic Colorworks color in this chart?

It covers the 210 Classic Colorworks colors in our library so far. We are adding the rest of the range over time.

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 Classic Colorworks back to DMC?

Use the Classic Colorworks 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.
