DMC 99 to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45213 is close for DMC 99 Variegated Watercolors. The blue-gray range is covered, and for creative and atmospheric designs where the variegated effect itself is the design feature — sky fills, water surfaces, abstract backgrounds — Sullivans provides a practical alternative. As with any variegated substitution, buying all skeins needed in one purchase minimizes dye lot variation, which is more noticeable in variegated threads than in solids.
