Where does this table come from?
It is published by Weeks Dye Works, the dye house in Garner, North Carolina, which presents it as a free conversion (the Weeks Dye Works document). We copied it as is, without recalculating anything: 257 shades have one or two DMC threads, 56 are mixes and 8 have no equivalent.
The numbers come from the Weeks Dye Works 2026 6-strand catalog ; 8 shades missing from its first page have the number given by 123Stitch. A shade without a number isn’t in the main 2026 list: it belongs to a separate collection (Classic, Holiday) or is no longer made.
Why a Weeks thread has no exact equivalent
Weeks Dye Works dyes its cotton by hand and “overdyes” it: the same skein moves from one shade to another, more or less strongly depending on the color. A solid DMC thread can therefore only match the dominant color. When Weeks writes “mix”, the shade blends too many colors for a single thread: the DMC shown, if any, gives the base. When two DMC are suggested (“610/729”), take the one that goes best with the rest of the chart, or stitch with one strand of each in the needle.
Weeks Dye Works doesn’t publish color codes for its threads: the swatches on this page are those of the suggested DMC threads, not the Weeks threads. Always compare with a real skein before buying, especially for a large background.
The other way: which Weeks thread for a DMC?
Type a DMC number in the search: the table shows the Weeks Dye Works shades that point to it. Some DMC threads are used for several Weeks shades, a sign that those shades look alike: DMC 950 for 6 shades, DMC 310 for 5 shades, DMC 611 for 5 shades, DMC 3012 for 4 shades, DMC 3848 for 4 shades, DMC 927 for 4 shades.
In the studio
Once you’ve chosen your DMC threads, the stixiva studio adds them to your chart and calculates the skeins to buy. The “Change brand” feature then switches the whole project to Anchor, Madeira or Sullivans if you prefer another brand.
To go further than this tool: the free cross stitch software stixiva draws, converts and prints your charts, online or on Windows, and its Stitch mode tracks your stitches as you work.
Can I replace Weeks Dye Works with DMC?
Yes, for most shades: Weeks Dye Works itself publishes a close DMC thread. The result will be more even, since DMC floss doesn’t change shade along the strand.
What does “mix” mean in the table?
That the Weeks shade blends several colors on the same skein: no single DMC thread replaces it. The DMC shown, when there is one, gives its dominant color.
Why two DMC numbers for one shade?
Weeks suggests two threads when its shade falls between them. Choose based on the neighboring colors in the chart, or put one strand of each in the needle.
My Weeks shade isn’t in the table, why?
The Weeks Dye Works table covers 321 shades; the newest ones aren’t in it yet. Look for a neighboring shade with the same name, or compare by eye with the DMC color chart.
Are the colors shown those of the Weeks threads?
No: they are the on-screen colors of the suggested DMC threads. Weeks Dye Works doesn’t publish color codes for its hand-dyed threads.
