LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas and tapestry projects, Colbert DMC 486 Wool in Prussian Blue 7034 offers a deep and timeless shade. This dark blue with aristocratic reflections lends itself as well to large flat areas as to subtle gradients, bringing a certain gravity to figurative compositions as well as geometric patterns.

100% wool composition guaranteeing remarkable strength and exceptional durability over time. 8 m skein allowing ample coverage of an average surface on embroidery canvas. French manufacturing : each thread is produced in France, guaranteeing quality textile know-how. The wool fiber brings volume and chromatic richness to beaded or cross-stitched works on canvas.

• Thread your tapestry needle with lengths of 30 to 40 cm to avoid felting of the wool as you go through it.
• On a Penelope or unifil canvas, this deep blue creates striking contrasts with light shades or neutral beiges.
• Ideal for embroidering backgrounds or shadow areas on botanical or animal motifs.
• Combine it with lighter threads from the same palette to build a harmonious gradient without tonal break.
• First test on a scrap of canvas: the wool can warp the support slightly if the stitches are too tight.

This wool matches beautifully with the pearl grays and ivory shades of the Colbert range, or with warm tones like gold or rust for a dramatic contrast effect. Store in an airtight box to protect it from humidity and moths.
