DMC 29 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 873 is a close match for DMC 29 Eggplant, sitting in the same dark red-purple territory. Anchor's version may carry slightly more blue in its undertone than DMC 29's warm-leaning eggplant character — a subtle difference that's most visible when both threads are placed side-by-side against white paper. For projects where DMC 29 is used in large fill areas, this temperature difference can accumulate into a perceptible shift. For outline and accent uses where 29 appears in smaller quantities, Anchor 873 is a perfectly practical alternative.
