DMC 116 to Cosmo: Thread Conversion

Cosmo 2590 is a close match in the teal variegated space with Cosmo's softer hand and slightly flatter stitch texture. The softer gradients typical of Cosmo variegated threads can work beautifully in water and coastal designs where you want the teal variation to feel atmospheric rather than defined. As always with variegated thread substitution, a test swatch on your actual fabric is the most reliable guide — the overall impression at viewing distance is more important than how the individual thread looks in your hand.
