Madeira Thread Color Chart FAQ
Where can I see a Madeira thread color chart?
How do I read a Madeira Polyneon color number?
The last four digits are the Madeira color number. 918-xxxx is the 5,500 yard cone, 919-xxxx is the 1,100 yard spool, and 718-xxxx is the same color in Polyneon Green (recycled polyester).
Are Madeira embroidery thread colors the same across lines?
No. Polyneon, Classic Rayon and Frosted Matt each have their own color numbers, so always order by line and number. See the full Madeira embroidery thread range.
Do screen colors match the real thread?
Monitors shift color, so treat any on-screen embroidery thread color chart as a guide. For exact matches on uniforms or brand colors, check against a physical color card before a production run.
Do you have these colors in stock?
Yes. We stock Madeira Polyneon cones and spools in Tempe, AZ and ship same day on in-stock orders. Call 480-229-7806 for a color you do not see.
How do I convert a PMS color to Madeira thread?
Use our Pantone to Madeira thread conversion chart: find the PMS number and read across to the closest Madeira Polyneon or Classic Rayon color number. For a critical brand color, compare a real thread card or ask us to match it.
Is there a Madeira color conversion chart for other thread brands?
Yes. The thread conversion chart lists Madeira equivalents, and most digitizing software can swap a design to Madeira colors. Always check the result against a physical color card.
Is the Madeira rayon color chart the same as Polyneon?
Not exactly. Each Madeira line has its own color range and numbers, so the closest match to a Classic Rayon shade may carry a different number in Polyneon. Use the chart for the line you are buying, or call 480-229-7806 to cross-match.
