Anchor to DMC Conversion Table

This Anchor to DMC conversion table shows Anchor floss colors on the left and their corresponding DMC numbers. There are not exact equivalents for all Anchor flosses, so there may be some variance.

If a printed copy would be useful to you, click here for a printable Anchor to DMC conversion table. It will open in another window so you will not lose your place here.

For another useful reference, see the DMC Colour Card (W100TC), available at stores that carry floss. It contains actual 3/8" by 1 1/4" blocks of floss samples including six strand embroidery floss, pearl cotton, metallic floss and metallic pearl. When looking for this product, make sure you get the one with the actual samples. DMC's 2008 printed color card is less expensive, but you may find that the colors are less accurate due to being printed.
