Are you sitting on a huge pile of embroidery floss like a mighty dragon on her treasure stash, without having a clue about what you actually have?
If you’re tired of buying duplicate embroidery floss or struggling to find the right shade in your collection, I have something for you. This Thread Inventory Tracker is the ultimate tool to keep your threads neatly cataloged, so you always know what you have and what you need.
What’s Inside
This digital download includes two easy-to-use PDF trackers:
- sorted by DMC Code – quickly look up threads by number for fast reference.
- sorted by DMC Color – see your collection with similar colors grouped together, in the same order as the official DMC shade card, making it easier to find complementary tones.
Both files provide you with a color, number and name reference for the most popular DMC embroidery thread families, a whopping number of 687 colors in total:
- Six-strand floss (482 colors including the newest 35)
- Variegated (also called Mixed) Cotton (18 colors)
- Light Effects (36 colors)
- Color Variations (36 colors)
- Coloris (24 colors)
- Mouliné Étoile (35 colors)
- Diamant (14 colors)
- Diamant Grandé (6 colors)
- Satin (36 colors)
To help you keep even better track of your DMC floss collection, this tracker includes two dedicated columns – one for full skeins and another for partial skeins. The full skeins column lets you record the threads you have in brand-new, unused condition, while the partial skeins column helps you track colors you’ve already used but still have some left.
This way, you’ll always know exactly what’s available for your next project, avoid running out of key colors mid-stitch, and make the most of your existing floss before purchasing more.
A truly efficient way to organize

- Stay organized whether you have 20 or 200+ skeins
