Conversion Notes

Anchor 175 is a close match for DMC 160, capturing the Wedgwood grey-blue balance with reasonable accuracy. Anchor's version holds the grey-blue register well enough for the thread's structural mid-tone role in shading sequences. If you're substituting across the whole grey-blue family (159, 160, 161), source all three from Anchor rather than mixing brands — the family relationships between value steps matter more than any single thread's individual accuracy against the DMC originals.
