LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas or tapestry projects, Colbert 486 wool offers a rich texture and generous coverage. Light indigo 7033 is a nuanced blue, luminous without being aggressive, perfect for backgrounds or to create subtle gradients with other bluish hues.

This 8 meter skein in 100% wool is easy to work on fine or medium embroidery canvas. Colbert wool does not separate into strands: you use it as is, threaded in one piece. Made in France , it benefits from a stable dye and a remarkable regularity of diameter. The skein packaging makes it easier to count stitches and avoids knots.

• Thread the wool directly without separating it for a homogeneous and regular result.
• Work with 45 to 50 cm needles to preserve the wool and limit pilling.
• Use it in cross stitch on canvas with 10 to 14 stitches per cm, or in stem stitch for fine lines.
• Combine it with shades of navy blue or pearl gray to create harmonious shades.
• Wash your finished items in lukewarm water with a mild soap, then dry flat without twisting.

Light indigo 7033 pairs with cool grays and petroleum blues for landscapes or geometric patterns. Keep several skeins of this shade on hand: it consumes quickly on large surfaces.
