Conversion Notes

Sullivans 45124 is a close match for DMC 552. Sullivans' softer thread body produces stitches that may appear slightly plumper, which can be an advantage on lower-count Aida (11-count or 14-count) where maximum coverage in the purple fill area is the priority. For display-quality floral work where Medium Violet carries the primary petal area in a detailed iris or wisteria design, the exact-match options (Anchor or Madeira) are preferable for their greater color precision.
