Frequently asked
- Are DMC to Anchor conversions exact?
- No, they're closest usable substitutes, not identical dyes. The two brands' shade families don't map one-to-one, so a converted color can read slightly lighter, darker, or warmer. Where published charts disagree on the best match, this table shows the majority pick with the alternatives alongside it.
- Why do some DMC colors have no Anchor equivalent?
- DMC's 35 colors added in 2017 (codes 01 to 35) mostly have no published Anchor match, and a handful of other codes have charts disagreeing so thoroughly that no reliable answer exists. We'd rather say "no direct equivalent" than guess. For those, pick a substitute by eye from the color's similar-shades page.
- Where does this conversion data come from?
- It's cross-checked against four independently maintained published conversion charts (Yarn Tree, Stitchtastic, 123Stitch, and the Cyberstitchers/Studio Koekoek lineage). A conversion is only listed when at least two sources agree.
- Can I convert Anchor to DMC?
- Yes. Use the Anchor to DMC conversion chart, or search this table by Anchor number, to find the DMC color(s) that convert to it. Because multiple DMC colors sometimes share an Anchor match, check the swatch before buying.
