Conversion Notes
Sullivans 45115 provides a close match in the warm crimson-red variegated range. The characteristically shorter segment lengths of Sullivans variegated threads may create slightly more frequent color transitions than DMC 123's gentle drift — which in the context of bird feather shading can look charmingly mottled and natural. For redwork backstitch applications where the color shifts flow along continuous lines, try a slightly longer thread length than usual to allow the gradient to develop more smoothly across curves and contours.
