Conversion Notes

Madeira 1715 is a close match in the medium grey-blue range. Madeira's smoother thread finish produces a slightly more refined surface quality that suits the restrained, composed character of grey-blue particularly well — there's an affinity between this thread's aesthetic and Madeira's polished hand. For Wedgwood-inspired samplers, period reproduction pieces, and historical portrait work, Madeira 1715 is a strong candidate and the sheen adds to rather than detracts from the refined quality.
