LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas works, Colbert DMC 486 wool offers a dense texture and a rich finish. The Sage Green 7045 color soothes the eyes with its muted hue, perfect for projects that require subtlety and depth without overwhelming the composition.

This 100% virgin wool wool can be worked on all embroidery canvases. The 8 meter skein generously covers medium sized designs. Made in France, it guarantees consistent quality and reliable supply. The thick, even strands slide easily through the canvas and do not lint while working.

Available in only one color: Sage green 7045. This shade goes well with pearl grays and ivories to create harmonious gradients on your compositions.

• Choose a No. 20 or 22 tapestry needle depending on the thickness of your canvas, so that the thread fits the holes perfectly without forcing.
• Work with lengths of 40 to 50 cm to maintain the cohesion of the fibers and prevent the wool from fraying at the ends.
• Create subtle shading by alternating a row of Sage Green 7045 with a pearl gray: the gradient will gain in naturalness and relief.
• This sage green enriches landscapes, botanical backgrounds and geometric patterns that require a soothing and timeless hue.
• Clean your finished work in cold soapy water and dry it flat to preserve the shape and shine of the wool.

Combine this wool with Colbert wools in neighboring shades — pearl gray, off-white, taupe — to enrich your tapestry palettes. Bohin tapestry needles complete the essential basic kit for starting or continuing your canvases.
