DMC 108 to Madeira: Thread Conversion

Madeira 0802 is a close match in the warm lavender range, and Madeira's slightly silkier finish adds a subtle sheen that can actually mimic the waxy reflectiveness of real lavender blooms. For botanical designs and Provençal-themed pieces, this enhanced sheen works in your favor. Madeira's transitions tend to be smoother than DMC's, so the color shifts in the lavender gradient may be more gradual — which for a soft, soothing thread like this is usually a welcome quality.
