Conversion Notes
Cosmo 172 is a close match in the very light pewter range. Cosmo's softer hand produces a slightly flatter stitch surface that suits large fills particularly well — atmospheric backgrounds, stonework fills, and Scandinavian geometric patterns benefit from even, matte coverage without pronounced surface texture. Cosmo 172 may read very slightly warmer than the DMC original; confirm the neutral character on your fabric before proceeding to a large light-gray fill where any warmth bias would be visible.
