DMC 156 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 118 is a close match for DMC 156, covering the medium-light blue-violet periwinkle territory. Anchor's version may read slightly more blue in certain lighting — perceptible mainly when the thread is placed directly alongside DMC purples in a tight gradient. For standalone periwinkle work, landscape backgrounds, and morning glory florals where precise undertone placement is less critical, Anchor 118 performs reliably and the difference is typically invisible in the finished piece at viewing distance.
