Using the thread chart lookup
Look up 20 source-backed DMC and Anchor pairings from an archived Anchor Stranded Cotton chart.
Scope of this tool
An archived chart pairing is not an exact physical color guarantee or proof of current availability. Multiple matches remain ambiguous and unlisted codes are not guessed.
Method and reference
The lookup returns the transcribed row or rows for an exact shade code. It performs no nearest-color calculation and includes no Cosmo mapping.
What is this?
A limited DMC and Anchor lookup from an archived Anchor stranded-cotton chart. Cosmo mappings are not supplied.
Who needs it?
Cross stitchers and embroiderers checking thread substitution options.
Bottom line
Chart pairings are historical suggestions, not exact color equivalents. Compare current physical shade cards before substituting.

Worked Example
The source chart pairs DMC 321 with Anchor 47. Anchor 400 appears with both DMC 317 and DMC 413 in the included subset, so the reverse lookup must preserve both possibilities.
Twenty DMC-to-Anchor pairings transcribed from an archived Anchor Stranded Cotton chart. It does not provide a complete or current manufacturer catalog.
Are these guaranteed physical color matches?
No. They are the source chart pairings. Compare the actual thread and current shade cards before substituting.
What happens when several DMC shades share an Anchor code?
The lookup shows the ambiguity and the listed matches rather than choosing one automatically.
Does it support Cosmo, batch lists, or screen-color matching?
No. Those functions are not available in the current sourced lookup. Unlisted codes remain unresolved.
