Everyone loves a good collection of threads, but unless you have the whole set of DMC threads you’re going to need a way to keep track of what you have, and haven’t got. That’s why we created this awesome colored spreadsheet of all standard, metallic, variations, variegated, Coloris and Étoile 6 strand DMC threads, so you can keep track.
Just click the link or image and save the spreadsheet. You can access it on your computer, phone, or put it through GoogleDocs!
This is the same spreadsheet available as a bestseller on Etsy, rated 4.9 stars from over 5,500 reviews. The content is identical between both versions. You can download it here completely free, or grab it on Etsy if you’d rather buy it through your Etsy account or simply want to support the work that goes into keeping it accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DMC thread inventory spreadsheet really free?
Yes. The spreadsheet on this page is completely free to download and use for tracking your own thread collection. A version with the same content is also available on Etsy for stitchers who prefer buying through their Etsy account or want to support the site directly, but you don’t need to buy anything to get the full spreadsheet.
How many DMC threads does the spreadsheet cover?
The spreadsheet includes all 500 standard 6 strand DMC threads, plus current and discontinued metallics, variations, variegated, Coloris, and Étoile threads, so you have a single reference for the entire range rather than just the basics.
Does the spreadsheet work on my phone or tablet?
Yes. It opens in Excel or Google Sheets, so you can access it on a computer, phone, or tablet, including Android devices. Uploading it to Google Drive is the easiest way to keep it with you while shopping or stitching.
Can I convert between DMC and other thread brands using this sheet?
Yes, the spreadsheet includes a thread conversion chart across 9 major brands, so you can cross reference DMC numbers against Anchor, Sullivans, and others without needing a separate tool.
What’s the difference between the free version here and the one sold on Etsy?
There’s no difference in content. Both give you the same full thread list, color card, and conversion tools. Some stitchers simply prefer buying through Etsy for the familiar checkout and file delivery, or as a way of supporting the work that goes into keeping the spreadsheet accurate.
Do I need any special software to open the spreadsheet?
No. It works with Excel or the free Google Sheets app, so there’s nothing extra to buy or install before you start tracking your threads.

Thank you so much for providing this spreadsheet. My husband thought I was kidding when I said I needed to organize my floss with a spreadsheet. This is absolutely wonderful. Thank You!
Thank you for the DMC download thread spreadsheet.
The August 2020 version has a *ton* of gradients stacked on top of eachother (for example in columns AR and AW) making the sheet basically unusable due to lag D:
Wow there were a lot of those!
All fixed now, so should be a lot faster 😀
Does this include the discontinued colors for those of us who still have stock? Thanks!
Hey! I’ve tried quite a few times now, how can I download this in order to put into google sheets to edit it?
Hey Krista,
You should be able to click the links and it should start downloading automatically (depending on your device this might not be automatic). Once downloaded you need to open google sheets and create a new document. Select “File” and then “Import” and find your downloaded file and it should import for you. 😀
Depending on your device it might look different, but that’s the general process. Hope that helps!
Hi
I tried to down load the DMC inventory list and it tells me that the file can not be previewed. I have tried all the links that you put up and they all said the same thing.
Thank you
Lucia
Hey Lucia,
It sounds like the download was successful, but you aren’t able to open the file on your computer. If you find the file in your download folder, right click it and select “open with…” you should be able to select Excel and it should open.
Hope this helps!
Lord Libidan
Thank you
I have opened the document and now have to work out how to print it off so that the colours and numbers are on the same page and not split.

Ah, sounds like the PDF version might be better for you. It’s formatted to be printed on A4 paper without breaking the tables up 😀
Your PDF link is an Excel file… I don’t have Excel and would love a PDF for a checklist mostly. I wouldn’t even mind not having the color samples.
Even though I don’t have Excel I wish to thank you for making the spreadsheets. It’s helpful to have when you have floss skeins missing bands with the numbers.
:O Totally my fault! Sorry! The pdf link should actually work now and download a PDF for you!
