This year, we celebrate a remarkable moment in the life of DMC: our 180th anniversary. Few companies are granted the privilege of looking back across such a span of time, and fewer still can say that the spirit which inspired their beginnings continues to guide them today. For us, this milestone is a tribute to the generations of makers, partners and passionate embroiderers who have carried our threads and our story forward.

Anniversaries are also a time to celebrate the relationships that sustain us. As Birch marks its centenary alongside our 180 years, we are proud of our partnership. Since 2017, Birch has helped bring DMC to creative communities across the country, connecting new generations of makers with tools to express their imagination. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and belief in our brand. While we honour our past, we are inspired by the future. Every stitch with DMC thread links tradition with new possibility, and we remain committed to supporting creativity in all its evolving forms.

NEW PRODUCTS

The Designer Collection of embroidery kits showcases the work of talented designers from around the world. This diverse range celebrates classic and contemporary styles.

Our history begins in 1746, when Jean-Henri Dollfus joined Jean-Jacques Schmalzer and Samuel Koechlin in Mulhouse, France, to build an enterprise devoted to textile excellence. From the start, innovation and quality were inseparable. In 1850 we introduced mercerisation, giving our threads their renowned brilliance and strength, and we kept refining the art of dyeing to achieve the rich, lasting colours for which we are known. In 1898, we launched Mouliné Spécial, our iconic stranded cotton. More than a product, it became a trusted companion to creativity worldwide. Through changing fashions, technologies and markets, our commitment has remained constant: to create exceptional threads and make them with care where our story began in our historic factory in Mulhouse.
