DMC 904 to J&P Coats: Thread Conversion

J&P Coats 6258 is a close match for DMC 904 Very Dark Parrot Green — the same number listed as the J&P Coats equivalent for DMC 905 (Dark Parrot Green). This means J&P Coats uses a single thread to approximate both the darkest and the second-darkest parrot green, making precise gradient distinction between these two steps impossible with J&P Coats alone. For designs using the full 904–907 gradient, this limitation is worth factoring into your thread sourcing decision. For standalone use of 904 as a dark green anchor, J&P Coats 6258 is a workable substitute in most applications.
