Conversion Notes

Madeira 1514 is an exact match for DMC 520, delivering the same warm-dark fern character with Madeira's slightly different thread twist. The twist variation may require minor adjustment to railroading technique on fine-count evenweave, but the color outcome is equivalent. For Chatelaine and Teresa Wentzler designs that make heavy use of the fern green family, Madeira provides consistent dye lot coverage that reduces the risk of visible shade variation across a large project.
