I think it is worth purchasing the purple in DMC as it is vastly different from Anchor, but not sure about any other shades. Hope this helps!Tracy A Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612282138037024354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566268963981804973.post-83382796739026496902014-02-27T10:45:51.236+00:002014-02-27T10:45:51.236+00:00It's coming along very well and I'm lookin...It's coming along very well and I'm looking forward to seeing more.=)<br /><br />Tracy, may I pick your brains, please? I own the complete Anchor stranded cottons, but whilst doing some needle painting/shading work recently, I realised that there really are gaps in the colour spectrum. I'm interested in plugging them with any useful DMC shades. Do you have any suggestions on which DMC shades might be worth investing in? I noticed that the RSN book used mostly Anchor with a few DMC supplements, so I thought you may have some ideas.
