DMC 221 to Cosmo: Thread Conversion

Cosmo 2599 is a close match in the very dark shell pink range. Cosmo's softer hand and slightly less tight twist can affect stitch coverage at dark values — check that two strands on your project fabric provide complete, opaque coverage without showing fabric between stitches, which at this dark a value would read as very obvious gaps. For the shadow-anchor role that 221 plays in shell pink gradients, full coverage is essential. The warm, brownish-berry warmth should be verified against a cooler dark red for comparison.
