Are you looking for a rich and structured wool for your tapestry or canvas projects? DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool, fir green color 7043, offers a deep and natural shade, perfect for creating stable backgrounds or elements of character. This 8 m skein in 100% virgin wool will faithfully match each point of your canvas.

Composition and technical characteristics : Pure wool yarn, non-separable, presented in an 8 m spool. Colbert Wool is distinguished by its regular thickness and soft feel, ideal for tapestry stitching on medium or coarse weft canvas. French manufacturing, guarantee of quality and stable color.

Fir green color 7043 : A dark, slightly gray green, inspired by conifers in the mountains. This neutral shade harmonizes with the other greens in the range as well as grays, browns and creams, for a natural and timeless look.

• Adapt the tension of your work by working with needle lengths of 40 to 50 cm: the wool better supports repeated passes without rubbing.
• Always test on a corner of the canvas before starting, as the wool may move slightly during the first wash.
• For dense backgrounds, thread the needle with a single Colbert thread: its size is already suitable for complete coverage without overloading.
• Combine this fir green with warm browns or pearl grays to create harmonious gradients in your forest designs.
• Keep your work protected from dust: wool naturally attracts particles, protect it under a fine cloth while working.

Combine this yarn with other shades of Laine Colbert DMC to enrich your palettes: the grays, khakis and blue-grays of the range create soothing harmonies. For finishing touches, use Bohin round-tip needles, specially designed for tapestry, and a quality regular canvas.
