Conversion Notes

Madeira 0801 is a close match for DMC 28, with the same overlap issue as Anchor 108 — it also appears as a listed match for DMC 211 (Light Lavender). This means Madeira's 0801 sits at a point in color space that approximates both threads without perfectly matching either. For designs where DMC 28's specific dusty warmth is important — vintage palettes, earthy botanical combinations, reproduction sampler work — test Madeira 0801 against your other palette threads before committing, paying particular attention to whether the gray-warmth reads correctly rather than leaning toward a cleaner lavender character.
