DMC Embroidery Floss

DMC, which stands for Dollfus-Mieg & Compagnie, is a premier brand in the world of embroidery and textile arts. Founded in Mulhouse, France, in 1746, the company has a rich history spanning over two centuries, during which it pioneered the production of high-quality cotton threads that became a global standard for needlework and cross-stitch.

The manufacturing process remains deeply rooted in its heritage, with the majority of its iconic stranded cotton thread being produced in its historic factory in Mulhouse, France. This commitment to domestic manufacturing ensures that the brand maintains the color consistency and quality durability that professional and hobbyist stitchers have relied on for generations.

Today, DMC is owned by the British private equity firm BlueGem Capital Partners, which acquired the company to help modernize its distribution while preserving its French craftsmanship. Despite the change in ownership to a UK-based investment group, the heart of the brand's identity and its primary production facilities remain in France, continuing its legacy as a world leader in the needlecraft industry.
