DMC 156 to Cosmo: Thread Conversion

Cosmo 148 is a close match with Cosmo's characteristic softer, silkier thread construction. The flatter stitch surface that Cosmo produces suits delicate periwinkle and cornflower motifs at small scale, where you want the color to present cleanly without the slight surface texture that heavier thread twist creates. Test Cosmo 148 against your other blue-violet shades on your fabric to confirm the violet character is intact — some Cosmo blues in this family lean slightly cooler than their DMC counterparts.
