DMC Ecru to Sullivans: Thread Conversion

Sullivans 45000 is close for DMC Ecru — and notably, the same Sullivans number is listed as exact for DMC Blanc (white). This dual listing suggests Sullivans 45000 may sit closer to white than to true ecru in character, potentially lacking DMC Ecru's warm golden tone. For designs where the ecru's warmth is doing meaningful work — skin highlights, fabric simulation, vintage palette building — testing on your actual fabric confirms whether the Sullivans substitute delivers the right character before committing to large areas.
