DMC 827 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 160 is an exact match for DMC 827 Very Light Blue, which is particularly welcome news for pale blues where minor undertone differences are more visible than in darker colors. The match holds well in atmospheric and sky work where 827's specific pale, clean character is doing important design work. If you're building a complete blue gradient in Anchor, the equivalents for the 824–827 family are generally reliable, and 160 fits correctly at the light end. Test on your specific fabric, as pale threads can read differently on white versus cream grounds.
