About Weeks Dye Works Thread

What is Weeks Dye Works?

Weeks Dye Works (WDW) is a premium American brand of hand over-dyed cotton floss. Each skein features beautiful color variations that give stitching a warm, antique, or primitive appearance popular in samplers and folk art designs.

Why Convert to DMC?

While Weeks Dye Works threads are beautiful, you may need DMC alternatives due to availability, budget, or if your pattern requires solid colors. Our converter helps you find the closest DMC matches.

Conversion Tips

  • WDW threads are variegated - DMC gives a more uniform look
  • Consider blending 2-3 DMC shades to mimic variegation
  • A slash (/) between DMC numbers means blend one strand of each
  • Test on scrap fabric before committing to your project
