DMC 3834 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45432 is rated close and provides a workable substitute for Dark Grape in most design applications, particularly in small accent areas where the exact depth and violet-balance of 3834 are less critical. For large saturated fills in gothic, art nouveau, and botanical shadow contexts, dye lot consistency within the same purchase is important — Sullivans' purple range can vary slightly between batches. The exact Anchor and Madeira matches are the stronger options for gradient-critical and large-area work.
