Conversion Notes

Sullivans 45428 is a close match in the blue-violet family. Like other Sullivans variegated threads, shorter segment lengths may produce more frequent color transitions — which in a twilight sky fill can create a more active, shimmering appearance than DMC 118's gentler drift. For stained glass designs where the variation reads as the internal irregularity of hand-blown glass, this extra activity is actually appropriate. For smooth, atmospheric sky gradients, the Danish method will help organize the transitions and reduce any sense of visual busyness.
