DMC branded products

A Name Stitchers Have Trusted Since the 1800s
Some brands earn their reputation slowly, and DMC has had well over a century to earn theirs.
Founded in France in the mid-1800s, DMC has become the name most stitchers reach for first,
and once you've worked with it you understand why. The thread lies flat, the colours stay true
wash after wash, and the strands separate cleanly instead of fraying and fighting you halfway
through a project. With more than 450 shades in the stranded cotton range alone, matching a
colour or building a palette from scratch is genuinely enjoyable rather than a compromise.

Threads for Every Technique
The heart of the range is DMC Stranded Cotton, the 8m six-strand skeins that suit everything
from cross stitch and sashiko to freestyle embroidery and hand quilting. Alongside it sits a full
family of specialty threads. Perle Cotton comes in sizes 3, 5, 8 and 12, giving you a twisted,
lustrous finish with real definition. Light Effects adds sparkle, Satin Floss brings a high sheen, and
Colour Variations shifts tone gradually along the thread so shading happens on its own.

For crochet and lacework there's Babylo, Cebelia, Cordonnet Special and Natura 4 Ply Cotton.
Metallic Pearl Cotton and Fine Braid cover the metallic work, while Soft Cotton, also known as
Retors Mat, gives a matte tapestry finish. Eco Vita organic wool rounds things out for anyone
looking for a more sustainable option.

Kits, Accessories and Everything Alongside It
DMC also makes some of the most approachable kits available, which makes them a good place
to start if you're new to stitching or shopping for someone who is. Practical accessories like
Stitch Bow file inserts keep a growing thread collection organised and easy to work from.

Stocking DMC alongside the full range of fabrics, needlepoint kits, haberdashery and craft
supplies at JM Embroideries means one order covers the thread, the fabric and the tools, and
it's on its way to you the same or next business day.
