DMC 3021 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45428 is a close match that covers the very dark brown-grey territory adequately. The complex character of DMC 3021 — that specific neither-brown-nor-grey quality — is what's most at risk in any substitution at this value level. For outlining and backstitch applications where 3021 appears in relatively small quantities, the close match is generally adequate. For large fill areas in sepia or monochromatic work, the exact-match Anchor and Madeira alternatives give more reliable results.
