LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool has established itself as the essential ally for canvas and embroidery on canvas. With its Blue Linen Flower color 7018, a delicate blue with gray notes that soothes without an aggressive shine, it offers embroiderers that subtlety that refined projects seek. Whether you are composing a geometric pattern or making a cross-stitch on a 10-point canvas, this luminous shade structures your solid colors while maintaining a natural softness.

French manufacturing : this 100% combed virgin wool wool is produced in France according to DMC know-how. The 8 m skein can be worked without separating the strands — it generously covers a surface area of ​​a few squares of canvas depending on your canvas size. Its regular, shiny fiber slides easily through the needle and holds perfectly in place on the canvas, without excessive lint.

• Work with needles of 30 to 40 cm to avoid fiber fatigue on large canvases.
• Combine Blue Linen Flower 7018 with neutral tones — light beige, pearl gray, ecru — for a harmonious gradient without violent contrast.
• On a 10-point canvas, a skein easily covers 20 to 25 squares in classic cross stitch.
• This shade is suitable for small format projects: decorative cushion, wall frame, embroidered key ring.
• Before starting, lightly dampen the wool to improve its slip and gain stitch regularity.

Complete your work by combining it with other Colbert shades — warmer grays or more intense blues — to create shading effects. DMC also offers special canvas needles and compatible canvases which will bring out the full potential of this French wool.
