Conversion Notes
Sullivans 45212 is a close match covering the general pale-to-medium baby blue range of DMC 67. As with all variegated substitutions, first confirm that Sullivans 45212 is itself a variegated thread — if it is a solid baby blue, it provides color coverage in the right territory but lacks the cycling behavior that defines the variegated effect in water and sky applications. If variegated, the specific pattern of DMC 67 — how frequently the color cycles between light and medium, how wide the value spread reaches at each end, and how abruptly or gradually the transitions occur — likely differs in the Sullivans construction, producing a different visual rhythm in stitched fabric. For designs where soft blue variation is the design goal rather than a specific thread’s characteristic effect, Sullivans 45212 serves as an adequate practical substitute when DMC 67 is unavailable. A sample stitch-out in your intended technique (Danish vs. English method) is always the most reliable evaluation for variegated threads before committing to a large background area.

Watch for

- ! Brand sheen, strand thickness, and project lighting can make DMC 67 and Sullivans 45212 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 67 and Sullivans 45212: 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.
