Organisation Bundle for DMC (Bobbins, Foam and Overlays)

Turn a tangled thread drawer into 500 numbered bobbins, every DMC colour in its own slot. Everything needed to organise your DMC collection, in one box. No measuring and no guesswork.

What's in the kit

What's inside

1. 500 White Printed Bobbins

• One bobbin for every colour in the current DMC Stranded Cotton range, including the 18 variegated colours
• DMC number and a colour swatch printed on every bobbin, so you can find any shade at a glance
• Each bobbin holds a full 8m skein, with slits that hold the thread tight
• Made here in Gloucestershire: 3mm thick, smooth matte finish, softly rounded edges, labelled permanently no stickers to fall off.

2. Five Foam Inserts for the Bisley 5-Drawer Cabinet

• Precision-cut to hold 108 bobbins per drawer, so bobbins stand up in neat rows
• Five inserts give 540 slots: room for all 500 colours plus spare slots for extras
• Each insert is 235 - 375 mm and drops straight into a Bisley 5-drawer cabinet

3. DMC Thread Layout Overlays: FREE

• A sturdy card overlay sits on top of each foam insert, with every slot labelled with its DMC number
• You'll know exactly where each bobbin goes, and spot any missing colour straight away
• Discontinued DMC numbers are not included

Numerical or colour order?

Choose your overlay layout when you add the kit to your basket.

• Numerical: colours run in DMC number order. Best if are following chart keys by number.
• Colour group: colours are grouped into shade families, following the DMC shade card. Best if you like to pick colours by eye.

How it works

1. Drop a foam insert into each Bisley drawer.
2. Lay the overlay on top.
3. Wind each skein onto its numbered bobbin and push it into its labelled slot.

That's it. Open any drawer and every colour is standing up, numbered and easy to find.

Questions

Will it fit existing drawers?
The foam is cut for the Bisley 5-drawer cabinet (H125NL). If you use a different cabinet, get in touch before ordering and we'll help you find the right fit.

Does it include the thread?
No. The kit is the bobbins, foam and overlays. It's made to organise the DMC thread you already have, and there's a slot ready for every colour you add later.

Does it cover every DMC colour?
It covers the 500 colours in the current DMC Stranded Cotton range, including the 18 variegated colours. Discontinued numbers aren't included, you can add them from our store.

Where is it made?
Everything is made by our small family team in Gloucestershire, UK.
