DMC 809 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 130 is a close-rated match for DMC 809 Delft Blue — an important nuance for stitchers who rely on Anchor throughout their projects. The close rating means Anchor 130 may read slightly differently than the specific grayed-medium quality of the quintessential Delft blue; for Delftware-inspired designs where 809 functions as the primary fill and must accurately evoke the ceramic tradition, the close rating introduces some risk of shifting the period character. Testing in hand against authentic Delft references before committing to large quantities is worthwhile.
