Candamar to DMC Thread Conversion Chart

Candamar Designs produced cross-stitch kits from the 1980s through the early 2000s. Their Christmas, wildlife, and sampler kits are collector favorites — but replacement threads are impossible to find. The good news: every Candamar thread has a close DMC match.

This chart covers 323 Candamar thread numbers (328 total conversions) sourced from cyberstitchers.com. Need it on paper? Print the Candamar to DMC chart.

Why replace Candamar threads with DMC?

  • Candamar stopped producing kits, so original threads are effectively unavailable.
  • Vintage Candamar kit stash often has faded or age-damaged threads that need full replacement.
  • DMC is the global standard — always stocked, always available, always colorfast.
  • Candamar's color palette was traditional and widely used, so most conversions are exact or close matches.
