The Gentle Art Sampler Threads colors are sampled from photographs of each skein. Simply Shaker can be converted in the tool above.

Convert between Gentle Art Sampler and DMC thread codes. Each match includes a quality percentage based on perceptual color distance — so you can see how close the substitution actually is.

Converting an overdyed thread to a solid one

Sampler Threads are hand-overdyed, so each skein shifts gently in depth as you stitch. The shifts stay inside one hue — a soft brown gets lighter and darker, it doesn't wander into green — which is why a single DMC shade can stand in well. The DMC match below is the closest solid to the skein's middle tone; it will look flatter than the original, especially across large areas of one color.

Sampler Threads are also slightly finer than six-strand DMC floss. If a pattern calls for two strands of a Gentle Art color, two strands of the DMC substitute will cover a little more fully.

Converting the other way? Switch the direction in the tool, or scroll to the DMC to Gentle Art table, to find the Sampler Threads color closest to a DMC number — handy when you want to swap a flat DMC shade for a softer overdyed one.

Understanding match quality

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.
Below 75% — Approximate. Check the alternatives — there may be a better option.

FAQ

Can I use DMC instead of Gentle Art Sampler Threads?

Yes, for most designs. Find the Gentle Art code in the chart and use the DMC match next to it. The match quality tells you how close the colors are; for shades below 85%, check the ranked alternatives. The DMC thread will be solid where the Gentle Art skein varies a little in depth.

Does this include Simply Shaker?

The tables on this page cover Sampler Threads. Simply Shaker colors convert in the interactive converter at the top of the page: pick The Gentle Art Simply Shaker as the source brand. Both lines are on our Gentle Art color chart.

How is the match percentage calculated?

We use CIEDE2000, the industry standard for perceptual color difference. 93%+ is virtually indistinguishable; below 75% means a visible difference.
