DMC 112 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45423 provides a close match in the cool purple-violet range of DMC 112. The blue-leaning wildflower quality should be present — check it against a warmer lavender to confirm the thread stays cool and violet rather than drifting toward pink-purple. Like other Sullivans variegated threads, the color segment lengths may run shorter than DMC's, potentially creating a more frequent, busier pattern of color shifts between the lighter and deeper blue-violet values. For wildflower meadow and impressionistic garden designs where organic, unpredictable variation is the goal, a bit of extra color activity can actually enhance the naturalistic, growing-things impression. For large geometric fills in a fantasy or stained glass context where you want a more organized pattern, the Danish method helps. Test on your fabric and compare the overall effect at arm's length before proceeding with a large fill area.
