Conversion Notes
Anchor 110 is a close match in the cool blue-violet range of DMC 112, capturing the wildflower meadow character reasonably well. The cool, blue-leaning quality of this violet family is the key property to verify — the Anchor version should read as a blue-violet rather than a warmer, pinker purple, which would shift it away from the wildflower meadow palette toward something more like a garden lavender. Note that Anchor 110 is also listed as a conversion for DMC 118 (Variegated Blue Violet) in some charts — if your pattern uses both threads, verify you're not creating a color collision between two distinct shades mapped to the same substitute. For standalone uses in wildflower meadow, fantasy forest, and stained glass designs, Anchor 110 holds up well. The gradient rhythm may differ from DMC's, so stitch a test section before filling large areas where the banding pattern becomes visible.

How We Validate This Match
This Anchor page is meant to help you shortlist a replacement quickly, then verify the physical skein before you mix brands in the same stitched area.

Decision guide
When to trust DMC 112 to Anchor 110
This page is strongest as a decision aid, not as a guarantee that two branded skeins will vanish into each other without testing.
Best for
- + Replacing missing floss when DMC 112 is unavailable and Anchor 110 is good enough after a stitched sample check.
- + Shortlisting a Anchor substitute before you buy skeins, especially if your project can tolerate small differences in sheen or dye lot.
- + Comparing this Anchor candidate against the other conversions and nearby DMC shades linked from the page before you commit to a full swap.
Watch for
- ! Close matches are not safe to assume interchangeable in focal areas without a physical test on your fabric.
- ! Brand sheen, strand thickness, and project lighting can make DMC 112 and Anchor 110 look further apart than the stored match rating suggests.
- ! If the design depends on smooth gradients or skin-tone transitions, compare this swap against the neighboring DMC shades before you substitute a large block.
Before you commit
- Compare DMC 112 and Anchor 110: lay the physical skeins together in daylight before you mix brands in the same stitched area.
- Test on your project fabric: stitch a small sample so fabric color and stitch density reveal whether the match still holds at full coverage.
- Keep a fallback ready: if the swap feels off, use the linked related DMC shades or another brand conversion instead of forcing the closest stored match.
