DMC 120 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 87 is a close match in the mauve-pink shaded range, capturing the general hue family well. The gradient interval lengths will differ from DMC 120's — Anchor's version may shift more rapidly or more slowly through the light-to-dark mauve progression, changing the scale of the shading effect. For peony designs and ballet-themed pieces where the built-in dimensionality is the main draw, stitch a test area on your actual fabric and judge the depth effect from viewing distance before committing to the full project.
