DMC 828 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45229 is a close match for DMC 828. At this very pale value, the main practical consideration with any substitute is thread consistency — very light threads can sometimes show batch variation more visibly than darker colors because there's less pigment to mask small dye differences. If you need multiple skeins of Sullivans 45229 for baby-themed work or large atmospheric fills, comparing them side by side before stitching helps ensure consistency across the finished piece.
