Conversion Notes
Cosmo 120 is a close alternative for this dark hunter green. The specific blue-green character at this deep, saturated value is the quality to verify: compare Cosmo 120 against both a more olive-direction dark green and a more purely blue-green to confirm it reads in the correct hunter-green zone. Cosmo's thread construction produces slightly flatter stitches than DMC, which at this dark saturated value can actually enhance the apparent richness — flatter stitches absorb more ambient light and read as denser and more vividly saturated, which suits the deep forest green quality of this thread. For large Christmas wreath and tree fills, comparing a test swatch of Cosmo 120 under warm incandescent lighting is particularly worthwhile, since holiday pieces are typically displayed under that type of light and some dark greens shift character between daylight and warm artificial light. Cosmo's close match is adequate for most applications if the blue-green character is confirmed in person.

How We Validate This Match
This Cosmo page is meant to help you shortlist a replacement quickly, then verify the physical skein before you mix brands in the same stitched area.
- Methodology
- This comparison uses the site's source-of-truth record for DMC 3345, the stored Cosmo equivalent, and the saved close rating before rendering the page copy.
- Verification status
- Close cross-brand match. Treat it as a shortlist, not proof that the physical threads will be visually identical under every fabric and light condition.
- Source basis
- Approximate cross-brand floss mapping. Treat it as lower-confidence until you compare the physical Cosmo skein against the DMC reference.

Decision guide
When to trust DMC 3345 to Cosmo 120
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 3345 is unavailable and Cosmo 120 is good enough after a stitched sample check.
- + Shortlisting a Cosmo substitute before you buy skeins, especially if your project can tolerate small differences in sheen or dye lot.
- + Comparing this Cosmo 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 3345 and Cosmo 120 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 3345 and Cosmo 120: 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.
