LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your cross-stitch or stem-stitch tapestry projects, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool offers a dense and regular texture that fills the canvases with elegance. The Blue Summer Rain colorway 7027 captures a subtle gray-blue shade, ideal for creating natural gradients or structuring a pattern without overwhelming it.

Composition: 100% premium quality virgin wool, spun and dyed in France. This noble material is easy to work with the needle, offering excellent hold and a beautiful shine once the work is finished. The 8 meter skein generously covers an average surface area and is easily divided according to the desired fineness. A real wool that can be dry cleaned, retaining its suppleness and color over the years.

DMC Colbert Tapestry Wool 486 is available in several shades of blue to create chromatic harmonies: combine Pluie d'été bleue 7027 with pearl grays or sky white for an airy effect, or on the contrary with more intense blues to reinforce the depth.

• Work with a size 18 to 22 tapestry needle for a regular finish without pulling.
• Limit needle lengths to 50 cm to avoid premature wear of the fiber and the risk of lint.
• This wool is particularly suitable for cheesecloth canvases (8 to 10 threads per centimeter), where it fills the stitches with fullness.
• Ideal for embroiderers looking for a natural and robust material for small paintings or counted stitch cushions.
• Store your skeins away from direct light: natural wool ages gracefully, but appreciates shade.

Pair this blue Summer Rain with DMC pearl cotton in a cream or ivory tone to add details or contours that will make your composition even more endearing. The contrast between the woolly material and the smooth rendering of the pearl creates a very interesting texture on the same work.
