DMC 104 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 117 is a close match that sits slightly more on the blue side of the lavender-blue spectrum than the DMC original. For hydrangea designs or twilight sky work where the blue emphasis can actually enhance the effect, this works in your favor. For designs where the purple character of DMC 104 is important — fantasy robes, wisteria, violet-leaning skies — stitch a test area and compare. The thread constructs differently than DMC variegateds, so gradient lengths may not align exactly.
