LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your petit point or cross-stitch tapestry projects, DMC Colbert Tapestry Wool 486 Delft Blue 7019 offers a sophisticated and timeless shade. This deep blue, slightly grayed, evokes Dutch ceramics and fits perfectly into classic projects as well as contemporary creations. Work with confidence: this French wool guarantees regularity of dyeing and color fastness.

Composition: 100% virgin wool for natural softness and shine. The 8 m skein is measured to largely cover a medium-sized area on Penelope or Aida canvas. Made in France , this thread perpetuates DMC's textile excellence. Delft Blue 7019 adapts to needles n°18 to n°22 depending on the canvas and the chosen stitch.

• Separate the strands carefully: wool tolerates friction less than stranded cotton. Limit your needles to 30 cm to avoid linting.
• Thread a fine, tapered needle, preferably stainless steel, to protect the fibers.
• Combine this blue with pearl grays and natural beiges to create subtle gradients in cross stitch.
• Perfect for bordering floral patterns: this blue gives depth without being overwhelming.
• Dry care or wash at 30°C maximum, mild soap, never spin.

Pair this Colbert wool with fine silk threads for delicate details, or combine it with matching DMC Perlé Cottons if you mix techniques on the same work.
