Conversion Notes

Cosmo 2505 is a close match for DMC 816 Garnet. Cosmo's thread has a slightly silkier sheen than DMC, which changes how this deep red reads in the finished piece — shinier under certain lights, and potentially appearing slightly more coral in some batch and lighting combinations. For a piece where 816 is doing precise shadow work or garnet-family gradient shading, test Cosmo 2505 on your specific fabric before committing to large fill areas.
