Find and convert thread colours.
From shade code to shopping list
Look up an embroidery thread code, compare cross-references and collect shades with skein quantities in one current project list. Export the list as PDF or CSV.
Start with a photo
Choose a photo through the system picker and sample a point, or choose a colour. Nuansel calculates nearby reference shades on your device.
489 reference shades
The library contains 489 DMC reference shades with cross-references to Anchor, Sullivans, J&P Coats and Maxi Mouline. These are not complete, independently measured palettes for all five brands.
Check physical thread
Screens, lighting, photos and dye lots can differ. A chart reference or calculated colour distance does not guarantee identical physical thread. Nuansel is independent and is not endorsed by the manufacturers.
On your device
One upfront purchase includes all features. No account, subscription or in-app purchases. Lookups, calculations and your list are handled locally. External links and system services may use the internet.
