DMC 209 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45041 is a close match in the dark lavender range. Coverage at this medium-dark saturation level is generally reliable with two strands on 14-count. For the workhorse role that 209 typically plays — covering more surface area than any other single shade in a lavender gradient — consistent, even coverage is the practical priority. Test on your project fabric and confirm the warm lavender undertone is preserved before beginning a large shaded fill such as wisteria or a robed figure.
