How it works

From photograph to shopping list in three steps.

1

Bring an image

A flower, a fabric swatch, a screenshot of a painting. Drop it in. Nothing leaves your device.

2

Sample the colours

Pick your brand (DMC or Anchor) and how many colours you want. We find the closest threads using Lab ΔE matching.

3

Take the list

Export a tidy PDF with swatches, codes, and names. Hand it to your shop or order online.

Curated palettes

Starter palettes to get you going.

A small, hand-picked set of thread palettes for common subjects. Use one as a starting point, then match your own fabric and light.
