Convert between DMC and Madeira thread codes. Each match includes a quality percentage based on perceptual color distance — so you can see how close the substitution actually is, not just which number to use.

Paste multiple codes for batch conversion. Browse alternatives when the best match isn't close enough.

Understanding match quality

Conversions are approximate — DMC and Madeira use different dyes, so even the "best" match may differ in undertone, saturation, or sheen. The match percentage tells you how close they actually are:

93–100% — Virtually identical. Hard to tell apart even side-by-side.
85–92% — Very close. Minor differences visible only in direct bright light.
75–84% — Good match. Noticeable when compared directly, but works well in most projects.
60–74% — Approximate. Worth checking alternatives for a closer option.
Below 60% — Significant difference. Check the alternatives — there may be a better option.

For color-critical work (skin tones, gradient blends), compare real skeins rather than relying on any conversion chart.

Have a pattern file? Open your PCStitch .pat, Pattern Maker .xsd, or OXS file and remap the entire palette to Madeira (or any of 50+ brands) in one click.

FAQ

Is there a perfect DMC to Madeira conversion chart?

No. DMC and Madeira use different dye formulations, so conversions are approximations. This tool shows match quality percentages based on perceptual color distance (CIEDE2000) so you can judge each substitution yourself.

How is the match percentage calculated?

We use CIEDE2000, the industry standard for perceptual color difference. It measures how different two colors appear to the human eye. 93%+ is virtually indistinguishable; below 75% means a visible difference.

Can I convert an entire pattern's thread list at once?

Yes. Paste multiple codes (comma or newline separated) into the batch conversion field. You'll get a complete table with match quality for each color.

Why does my converted color look different in person?

Screen colors aren't thread colors. Monitor calibration, lighting, and the physical properties of thread all affect appearance. For critical work, compare real skeins.
