DMC Stranded Cotton Shade Card - W100B

Using this to pick the colors for my cross stitch patterns.

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.

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.

DMC Color Chart with the threads!! Just what I needed. I already had the printed color chart but it jus didn’t cut it. Having the actual thread to see and compare is priceless. Love it!

Its what you need to match. What can I say...you need this to match most anything....I have thread that I used to do a pattern BUT it wasnt DMC and my friend wanted the cross stich so much....so I matched it with and.....Well it was a perfect solution. Ok, I am dilthering but it helped me do a second OWL cross stich with DMC thread and it was acually much nicer then the original.

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.

I love this updated version. Has more types of threads also. Well worth the money if you do a lot of cross stitch or embroidery.

I had seen mixed reviews about whether this was the updated version or if it was the actual threads. It is the updated version and it has the actual threads. If you think you’re saving money buying the $10 one — you aren’t going to be getting the updated or actual thread version!

The real floss samples were exactly what I was looking for

The corners were bent on this book. Not happy since it was $35 when I bought it.
