Conversion Notes
Anchor 1024 is the documented equivalent for DMC 3701 Salmon Pink and is workable for most applications. In practice, some stitchers find it reads slightly pinker and less orange-warm than the DMC original — the salmon character, that specific orange-warmth that distinguishes 3701 from a plain bright pink, is partially present but fractionally muted in the Anchor version. This is a consistent characteristic of the Anchor range in the salmon family: their equivalents tend to carry slightly less orange and slightly more pure pink than the DMC originals. For many finished projects this difference disappears in context, particularly when viewed at normal stitching distance from a completed piece. For tropical and folk art designs where the orange-salmon quality is specifically central to the palette — where the design is calling for that orange-pink warmth rather than a generic bright pink — a swatch test before large fills is recommended. The comparison under natural daylight reveals the undertone difference most clearly, as artificial light tends to flatten warm versus cool distinctions in this value range.

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 3701 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 DMC 3701 is unavailable and Anchor 1024 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 3701 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
- Compare DMC 3701 and Anchor 1024: 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.
