LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas and tapestry works, Colbert 486 DMC wool offers incomparable strength and shine. The Azure Blue 7028 color captures the luminosity of a Mediterranean sky, with its soft and deep shades. Each 8 m skein is worked on canvas or tapestry, bringing relief and substance to your creations.

A 100% pure wool from the French manufacturer DMC. This tapestry thread benefits from French manufacturing certification, a guarantee of quality and traditional know-how. The slightly beaded texture of Colbert catches the light, creating subtle visual effects that enrich your embroidered designs. The 8 m skein generously covers a medium-sized pattern, ideal for details as well as solid colors.

• Create gradients by combining Bleu d'azur 7028 with lighter or more intense tones from the Colbert range for natural transitions.
• Work with 18 to 22 gauge tapestry needles, adapted to the thickness of the thread and the density of your canvas.
• Separate the strands if necessary to adapt the volume to your canvas: the Colbert tapers slightly, allowing fineness adjustments.
• Use short needles, 30 to 40 cm, to preserve the integrity of the thread and avoid friction which would dull the shine.
• Combine this deep blue with warm golds or off-whites to create bright and harmonious compositions.

Combine this Azure Blue 7028 with Colbert wool in neutral tones — White DMC 2, Pearl Gray DMC 647 — to structure your compositions. An essential for all canvas projects requiring fine rendering and an authentic French palette.
