DMC to Robison-Anton Rayon thread conversion chart

Every DMC Embroidery Floss color with its closest Robison-Anton Super Brite Rayon equivalent, a rating for how close it is and two runner-up options. There are 455 rows. Click any number for the full breakdown.

Floss and machine thread are different materials. DMC six-strand cotton floss has a soft matte look, while Robison-Anton Rayon is rayon machine embroidery thread with a sheen, so a matched machine color will look a little brighter and smoother than the floss it replaces. Use this chart to pick machine thread when you stitch a DMC cross-stitch or hand-embroidery pattern on an embroidery machine.
