DMC 902 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45252 is a close match for DMC 902 Very Dark Garnet. At this very dark value, Sullivans' strand characteristics may affect coverage in large fill areas — monitor for consistent stitch density to avoid visible gaps in near-black garnet areas on light fabric. The close rating indicates some color difference, most notable when comparing skeins directly. For backstitch and smaller detail uses where coverage pressure is less critical, Sullivans 45252 is a functional substitute that reads as very dark warm red in finished work.
