DMC 921 to Anchor: Thread Conversion

Anchor 1003 is a close match for DMC 921 Copper — notably, Anchor doesn't achieve an exact rating here, which is somewhat unusual for a color this widely used. The Anchor equivalent sits somewhere between DMC 921 and DMC 922 in its specific character, reading as warm copper-orange but not precisely matching either adjacent shade. Stitchers building a complete copper gradient in Anchor should verify the 921 step specifically — the step relationship to Anchor 1004 (DMC 920 equivalent) and to Anchor 1003 for DMC 922 may not be as visually distinct as the DMC gradient. Note that Anchor 1003 is also the close equivalent for DMC 922, so Anchor treats these two adjacent DMC shades with the same thread number.
