LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 Tapestry Wool in Plum 7016 is the essential ally for your canvas embroidery projects. This deep and sophisticated plum shade offers remarkable chromatic richness, ideal for creating subtle gradients or structuring your embroidered compositions with elegance.

Made up of 100% wool , this tapestry wool combines strength and softness. The 8 meter skein offers a generous length for large areas or solid details. Spun and dyed in France , it benefits from a homogeneous dyeing quality and remarkable regularity. Size No. 486 is particularly suitable for high-count canvases, from 10 to 12 points per centimeter.

• Work with size 16 to 18 needles for optimal passage through the stitches of the canvas without snagging.
• Cut needles of 45 to 50 cm: the tapestry wool wears out quickly on the edges; this length limits fiber fatigue.
• To intensify the shadows, combine Plum 7016 with anthracite grays or navy blues: this trio creates a very current autumnal palette.
• Test Plum 7016 in backstitch or loose satin stitch on a white or ecru embroidery canvas: the color reveals itself with unsuspected depth.
• Clean your finished work in lukewarm water with a very mild soap, then dry flat: the wool will regain its softness.

To compose a landscape or floral motif in warm, deep tones, combine this Plum 7016 with golden ochres and touches of burgundy. It also pairs superbly with ivories and beiges for timeless projects. DMC offers a nuanced palette of this same size: explore neighboring colors to refine your gradients.
