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.

Do you have a spread sheet download for the Anchor Cotton DMC and the Perl Cotton DMC threads? A friend and I just started a business and I’m doing string art using these threads but I’m having trouble setting up my own spread sheets for what I was given. If you could do one for those that would be great!
We don’t right now, but there are plans to make an Anchor one! 😀
That’s wonderful news! Can’t wait to see it!
This is so helpful, thank you so much.
Someone needs to spellcheck the new colors. Not sure “Mediumium” and “Ultrara” is really what you mean there.
Otherwise really handy, thanks!
Eesh, my bad! Thanks for the spot! I’ve updated and uploaded a new one 😀
I think there may be an error on no. 505. The green colour displayed is rather pale but 505 is a darker green.
Sadly we can’t do much better. Colors on a screen are done in RGB, however the threads are pantone. This leads to annoying differences like the one on 505…
I’ve seen the colors and their RBG values displayed on a couple other sites, I’ve noticed that they have 505 displayed as a darker green. Is it possible it is an error after all? The RBG values I’ve found on those sites are 51 131 98, hex code #338362.
By the way, where do you find the RBG and pantone values? None of the sites I’ve found have provided a source. I’d love to know where everybody is getting their info!
Thank you for providing such an extensive spreadsheet!
Hrm… well its closer to the real color so I’m changing it anyway!
I worked with a few sources for the colors. I reached out to DMC directly for most of them, as I was helping put together a pattern generator. However they only give some of them out. As a result I reached out to a factory making CXC threads and asked for their color codes (they try to match DMC perfectly). Finally, I compared the colors from 19 different pattern generators to get a list that was agreed on by pretty much everyone.
Since I launched my spreadsheet 3 years ago, a LOT of people have used my colors, so that’s why you see them everywhere now…
Ahh, I see! Thanks!
This is a wonderful resource, thank you for sharing it! I bought a 36-pack, and a bunch of one-off skeins and wasn’t sure how best to organize and know what I already had and didn’t have. I inherited probably 150 skeins of various colors, had some of my own, and then the ones I just bought for a project and was getting overwhelmed. I’ve just started cataloging and it is already so much more organized.
