Conversion Notes

Anchor 1024 is an exact match for DMC 3328 Dark Salmon, delivering the same warm, muted salmon tone with comparable coverage. The specific dusty salmon quality that makes DMC 3328 so effective for cheek blush, skin warmth, and flushed-face work — that warm muted red-pink that reads as natural healthy color rather than paint — is preserved with fidelity in Anchor 1024. Thread weight and twist are close to DMC, so no strand count adjustment is needed. The color accuracy holds across different lighting conditions including daylight, incandescent, and cool-white fluorescent, which is not always the case with cross-brand matches in the pink-salmon range where warm-undertone threads can read differently under different light temperatures. For portrait work where this thread serves as a cheek blush color, inner-ear warmth, or warm skin shadow, Anchor 1024's exact match provides the confidence that the skin palette will read correctly and naturally. For floral petal shading in aged roses, terracotta architectural work, and fruit flesh rendering, Anchor 1024 performs identically to the DMC original and can be used without testing or adjustment.

Decision guide

When to trust DMC 3328 to Anchor 1024

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 you need the closest stored match between DMC 3328 and Anchor 1024 without changing the rest of the palette.
  • + 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

  • ! Even exact-rated matches can separate once you stitch them next to older thread, different dye lots, metallic accents, or dark fabric.
  • ! Brand sheen, strand thickness, and project lighting can make DMC 3328 and Anchor 1024 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

  1. Compare DMC 3328 and Anchor 1024: lay the physical skeins together in daylight before you mix brands in the same stitched area.
  2. Test on your project fabric: stitch a small sample so fabric color and stitch density reveal whether the match still holds at full coverage.
  3. 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.
