DMC 803 to Dimensions: Thread Conversion

Dimensions uses thread number 6012 in their kits wherever DMC 803 Ultra Very Dark Baby Blue appears in a design. Unlike DMC, Dimensions thread is a kit-brand thread — it's bundled into the kit and isn't sold separately at craft stores. If you're stitching a Dimensions kit and run out of color 6012, the replacement to buy is DMC 803 Ultra Very Dark Baby Blue, which is widely available at hobby shops and online. Dimensions kit thread quality is decent and will finish a project fine, but DMC is more consistent in twist, dye lot stability, and coverage — so if you're mixing in a replacement skein, DMC 803 is the right choice to pick up without hesitation.
