DMC 740 to Cosmo: Thread Conversion

Cosmo 2208 is a close match for DMC 740. Cosmo's silky thread finish gives their oranges a distinctive quality, and 2208 captures the essential pure-orange character of 740 well, though it may read very slightly less saturated in direct comparison. For designs where 740 is used as a bold accent rather than in large fills, the difference is likely academic. Cosmo's softer twist also tends to produce slightly flatter stitches, which can be advantageous on higher-count fabrics where puffier stitches create unwanted texture.
