DMC 522 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45118 is a close match for DMC 522 Fern Green. The grey-muted quality that makes 522 useful as a receding background green — the thread that does the work without demanding to be noticed — should be confirmed in natural daylight before use in botanical designs. For large fill areas in herb sampler backgrounds and foliage masses, the cost advantage of Sullivans is meaningful if the specific grey-green character is verified to be present in the purchased skein.
