DMC floss vs. DMC Pearl Cotton
Six-strand embroidery floss (DMC 117) comes in every color on this chart. It's made of six fine strands you separate and recombine, so you can adjust coverage to your canvas mesh.
Pearl Cotton (DMC 115, also called perle cotton) is a single twisted thread with a soft sheen. You don't separate it, so it stitches faster and covers evenly. It comes in a smaller range of colors, which is why each Pearl shade is tagged above.
Which Pearl Cotton size for which canvas?
A lower size number means a thicker thread. Pearl Cotton size 3 is the usual choice for 13-mesh canvases, and Pearl Cotton size 5 suits 18-mesh. On this color card, sizes 3 and 5 come in the same colors, so the Pearl tag covers both.
Tips for choosing thread colors
- Screens vary. Colors look a little different on every phone and monitor, so treat the DMC number as the source of truth.
- Need a swap? If a color you love isn't available in Pearl, get in touch and we'll suggest the closest Pearl shade.
- Link to a color. Every shade has its own link, like DMC 321, so you can share an exact color.
