DMC 3024 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 397 is listed as close rather than exact for DMC 3024, and the gap is noticeable if you're paying attention — Anchor's version tends to lean a touch cooler and greyer, losing some of DMC 3024's characteristic warmth. For small accent areas this probably won't matter, and the close match is adequate. For a large background fill where the warm-mist quality of DMC 3024 sets the entire mood of the piece, the slight coolness of Anchor 397 could shift the atmosphere. Consider whether your design needs the thread's warmth or just its lightness before choosing Anchor.
