DMC 119 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45211 provides a close match to the deep navy character of DMC 119. As a solid thread, it covers evenly and reliably — which is actually a practical advantage in navy designs where patchiness from uneven coverage would be very visible. The trade-off is the loss of the dark-to-light navy variation that makes DMC 119 useful for night skies and astronomical designs. If the variegation effect is important to your project, look within Sullivans' own variegated range or consider the blended needle workaround with two solid navy shades.
