ThreadworX colors are sampled from photographs of each overdyed skein.

Convert between ThreadworX 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

ThreadworX floss is overdyed, so its color moves along the strand as you stitch. The DMC match is the solid closest to a skein's overall color: a good stand-in for shades that stay within one hue, a rougher one for colorways that travel through several. For those, look at the ranked alternatives, or keep the original thread for the areas where the color shift matters.

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 ThreadworX?
For most shades, yes: the chart gives the closest solid DMC color with a match quality. The DMC version will not shift in color the way the overdyed thread does.
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.

Cross stitch is a real commitment — real thread, real hours, real frustration if the pattern doesn't work. Stitchmate lets you see exactly what you're getting into before you buy the first skein.
