LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Ideal for structuring a canvas or enriching a thick embroidery, this DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool offers a luminous, slightly bluish turquoise 7037 shade. Each 8m skein of 100% pure wool guarantees generous coverage for medium-sized designs or to complete multiple areas of the same project.

Made in France, this wool combines finesse and robustness. The virgin wool composition ensures impeccable hold when cross stitching or stem stitching on embroidery canvas. Packaging in 8 meter skeins allows you to launch a project without unnecessary overstock. Its thickness lends itself to many canvases, from 12 to 18 points per approximately 10 cm.

• Work with needles of 45 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from felting when passing repeatedly through the fabric.
• Divide if necessary: although only one thickness, the thread can be separated for delicate details on fine canvas.
• Combine several shades of blue and green to create authentic marine gradients without overloading the material.
• Wash by hand in cold fresh water, without spinning: the wool thus retains its volume and flexibility between the stitches.
• Perfect for wall tapestry projects, cushions or thick bookmarks that require durable wool.

This 7037 turquoise pairs beautifully with pearl grays and navy blues for an oceanic look. Complete your palette with complementary shades from the Colbert range: straw yellow or coral to create contrast without shouting.
