Botanical yellow butterfly color palette for your next embroidery project.
I absolutely love this botanical composition! Inspired by the yellow-orange wanderer Phoebis Philea, this beautiful palette can be adapted to any embroidery project, botanical-inspired or not. I think this palette would work great for the butterflies embroidery project.

DMC TO ANCHOR EMBROIDERY COLOR CONVERSION CHART
DMC and Anchor are the most commonly used brands of stranded cotton. They both have a wide variety of colors and are made of good-quality stranded cotton. The thread is comprised of six strands, which can be easily separated as you might want to stitch with less than 6 strands depending on your project.
You can use both brands together for a project, for example, substitute one shade of DMC floss with ANCHOR floss, but please note that is not possible to provide a perfect color match between brands.
The Yellow Haze Philea Color Palette uses the following shades of thread: Shell Grey Light, Shell Grey Medium, Cocoa, Topaz Light, Chartreuse, Green Bright.
DMC STRANDED COTTON
