DMC 165 to Madeira: Thread Conversion

Madeira 1413 is a close match in the very light moss-green range. Madeira's characteristic thread sheen on a yellow-green this light and bright creates a citrus-candy quality — a slight extra luminosity that some stitchers find suits whimsical and modern designs well. For naturalistic spring foliage work where you want the color to read as organic rather than synthetic, test on your project fabric first to ensure the sheen isn't pushing the thread beyond the register of natural plant light.
