DMC 155 to J&P Coats: Thread Conversion

J&P Coats 7110 is a close match in the blue-violet range, providing a widely available option for North American stitchers who have J&P Coats more readily accessible than DMC. The medium blue-violet character should be present — confirm it reads as a cool, blue-leaning violet at medium saturation rather than a warm lavender or a flat blue before using it for amethyst designs or gradient sequences where undertone precision matters. One important practical note: this J&P Coats number appears as a match for both DMC 155 and DMC 156 in some conversion tables — a single J&P Coats shade serving as a generalized match for an adjacent shading pair rather than a precise equivalent for either thread individually. For designs where 155 is used independently as a standalone accent color, this shared number is a serviceable substitute and the slight value imprecision is unlikely to be visible. For designs where both DMC 155 and DMC 156 appear in the same piece — particularly in a blue-violet gradient sequence — the shared J&P Coats number means you cannot differentiate between the two steps using J&P Coats alone. In that case, source one of the two shades from a different brand to maintain the gradient distinction that the pattern requires.
