Anchor Mouliné 878

878 is a dark green from the Anchor Mouliné range, the most widely used thread for cross stitch and hand embroidery. The strands separate easily, so you can stitch with the thickness that suits your fabric: usually 2 strands for cross stitch on 14-count Aida, 1 strand for outlines and backstitch, 3 or more on coarser fabrics.

Charts list colours by their Anchor number; if your chart uses DMC or another brand, the table shows the equivalent colours. Below are the closest shades, useful for blending or for replacing a colour.
