DMC 112 to Madeira: Thread Conversion

Madeira 0910 is a close match with the characteristic Madeira smoothness and slight sheen that suits the luminous, impressionistic quality of this wildflower thread. The silkier texture can enhance the watercolor effect of the variegation — particularly lovely on evenweave fabrics where the thread surface is more fully exposed than on Aida's nubby weave. This added luster gives the blue-violet tones a slightly jewel-like quality that suits fantasy and stained glass applications. Note that this same Madeira shade maps to several similar DMC blue-violet variegated threads — check your full conversion list if your pattern uses multiple purple threads to ensure you're not inadvertently mapping two distinct DMC shades to a single Madeira number. Transitions in Madeira variegated threads tend to be gentler and more gradual, which suits this atmospheric thread's impressionistic character very well.
