Product Information

After all, in places like the UK, the only choice of threads is either DMC or Anchor and they fight for space in retailers. Doing this pushes up prices for both.

What About The US? Their complete failure of launching embroidery thread on spools has not only seen them lose a lot of favor with cross stitchers but also a lot of shelf space too as they had to pull the whole thing off the shelves. But the very fact that they tried to come up with an idea to reduce their need for shelf space in stores just goes to show that for the Anchor company, the price they were paying to stay in stores wasn’t worth it for them. It is a further step towards our ambition to be the number one needlecraft brand. We are delighted to be the new home for these brands with their proud heritage, loyal customer and distribution base, and impressive product offering. We are excited to welcome new customers and distributors alike and will pledge to work hard to maintain and grow our partnership.” With ownership of Anchor, and all cheaper embroidery thread companies like CXC and Royal Broiderie Threads copying DMC’s number and color system, DMC now probably has sway over 90% of the embroidery thread market.What’s particularly interesting about this news is that Anchor Threads produces exactly the same line of products that DMC does, and is essentially, the second-largest embroidery thread company out there.

When Michaels and JoAnns started selling Anchor on a spool, I bought all the colors after stitching a sampler with Anchor on a spool. I have used DMC for 60 years and I found I love Anchor on a spool. You get more for your money (as DMC prices have really gone up and there is more yards on an Anchor spool then in a DMC skein), you don’t have to pull from a skein that usually tangles, after cutting your length, you can wrap the strands your are not using around the spool – the only problem I have found with Anchor is when using one thread, you can’t frog the whole strand as it will shred! My friend thanked me for such an ‘amazing, thoughtful and original gift’ and she also messaged, ‘I can’t tell you how much I love it!’ With this power, brands like Sullivans, Madeira, and J&P Coats, which rank slightly below both DMC and Anchor threads in our roundup of best cross stitch thread brands, are being pushed out of the market more and more. How Has The Industry Reacted? Coats sold Anchor in its entirety. However, they retained the US distribution rights. This means that if Anchor is shut down; it’ll also go in the US!Archopoly Metal Wall Art Monopoly - Wall Decor, Metal Wall Decor, Housewarming Gift, Office Wall Art, Office Wall Decor, Metal Wall Games Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!
