DMC 973 to J&P Coats: Thread Conversion

J&P Coats 2290 is a close match for DMC 973 Bright Canary. The bright yellow range is covered, and this is a practical option for cartoon-style and vivid contemporary designs. Because 973's defining quality is its saturation intensity, verifying the actual skein's brightness — ideally under natural daylight, which reveals true saturation better than artificial light — is the most important step before substituting in any design where the electric quality is load-bearing.
