The bluish looking stems on this chart with the bright red poppy drew me to it. DMC substitute for the GAST is 371. I don't purchase GAST because of the drastic difference of the same color skeins. Ordering online is a crap shoot.
The 371 wasn't showing well, pulled 372, good. But not the bluish tone at all. So before I start this needs settled. Me? Settled? Not in life and certainly not in colors! Chose 321 for poppy, from top.... 3023, 647, and the 372. The few stitches seen between skeins is 522, thought it would show more gray. Did not.
The blues were too blue, other greens showed very green on the Havana. The darker shade can be the old 3022, not the new green one. DMC sub is 3787, dark gray.
It's a tough decision when several will look good, but offer entirely different outcomes.
Hmmmmmmmmm .....
Thoughts?

You never cease to amaze me...or make my head hurt. (If you figure out that "settling" thing, let me know.)
DMC 321 is my go-to favorite!
