The rest of Canary

DMC prints this shade across a range, light to dark. These are its siblings — often the right answer when you want the same colour a shade deeper rather than a different colour altogether.

Know which of these you already own

Stitcheree keeps your floss box, your patterns and your finished pieces in one place — and when a chart calls for a colour you are out of, it ranks the substitutes against what is actually in your box rather than against the whole catalogue.
