DMC Stranded Cotton Shade Card - W100B

This card contains the 35 new regular colors, plus other specialty ones as well, including variegated and the E-series, and thickness samples for the Perle coton series. Youll have to make a bit of effort to make sense of the numbering method, but its not hard to use, and with this card in hand you can match any thread quickly and easily. If youve never bought a color card, you may be tempted to go with the cheaper printed card. Trust me, its worth the price difference to get this one - you get *actual thread samples,* not a photo, which makes all the difference. This is my second color card. Im amazed by how different it is from my first one bought years ago. DMC was always the best in the business but they did not rest on their laurels - they continue to expand the range of available colors, thickness and textures. Well done DMC.

The real floss samples were exactly what I was looking for

My last DMC card like this is almost 30 years old. Needless to say, there are more colors on this card and it also has the metallic floss on this card. I wanted the actual floss version and that is what I got. Im very happy with this card.

This card had the actual embroidery threads on it! It is sorted by color families and so easy to use! When to use it?? When you are kitting a project and have all the colors except one or two.. you can check to see what the color should be and if there is a similar color that would be close enough to swap out! Also as you are working on a project and threads get scattered .. you can figure out which threads go with which floss bundle!!

Very easy to choose floss for projects using this - comparing with other called for threads in cross stitch and embroidery projects. I think this is an excellent investment for anyone who is an avid stitcher

Love it! So nice to see the actual thread.

I was thrilled to find an updated version of the book. It is great that it has the actual flosses not just pictures. Makes it easier to match threads. Has almost all of the news colors that DMC has produced

This is a well made DMC color chart at a reasonable price.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I want to change the colors of some cross stitch patterns that I have purchased and this makes it easier to choose colors and see what other options there are within a color family. It has also helped me label some mislabeled colors in my collection. I kind of wish the colors were removable to make it easier when selecting a bunch of colors for a design, it would be easier to be able to see them all together, then put them back when I was done. Still very happy with this. The only drawback is the folding of this item. I can see it getting worn out over time and I will hate to have to tape it together but I will do it if that day ever comes!

Sometimes these are hard to come by, but if you are a thread artist, embroiderer or a sewer, you know the DMC floss is the best quality. This is the one with actual thread samples not the printed version. Very important difference. I had one of these many years ago, that somehow got lost. when I picked up & started embroidering again years later, I was having a hard time finding a replacement because they are sold out everywhere so often. but keep looking. They are essential.
