DMC 535 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 401 is a close match for DMC 535 Very Light Ash Gray — note the close rather than exact rating, which matters here because Anchor 401 is also cited as the equivalent for DMC 413 (Dark Pewter Gray), a cooler shade. If your project uses both 413 and 535 to carry a warm-cool grey distinction, substituting both with Anchor 401 collapses that distinction. Verify which grey your pattern intends before purchasing, and consider sourcing different Anchor numbers if both the ash warmth of 535 and the steel coolness of 413 are required in the same piece.
