DMC 319 to Bucilla: Thread Conversion

Bucilla uses thread number 6048 in their kits as the equivalent to DMC 319 Very Dark Pistachio Green. Bucilla is best known for their holiday and seasonal counted cross-stitch kits — the kind with felt appliqué and festive designs — and their thread numbering system is entirely proprietary to those kits. You won't find Bucilla thread sold separately on its own, so if you run out of color 6048 mid-project, DMC 319 Very Dark Pistachio Green is what you want to pick up as a replacement. Worth noting: Bucilla kits sometimes pack thread amounts a bit tighter than the design demands, especially for background fills, so running short isn't unusual — keep DMC 319 on hand if you're working a Bucilla kit with large areas of this color.
