LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 Houblon 7056 tapestry wool is your ally for creating vibrantly colored canvas works. This thick and structured thread in 100% virgin wool is worked with a tapestry needle on embroidery canvas, for a dense and covering result. The 8 meter skein is sufficient for generously sized patterns or large backgrounds.

Composition and characteristics: 100% wool, made in France. The Houblon 7056 color offers a bright, rich and deep golden yellow, perfect for structuring a painting or creating bright contrasts on darker backgrounds. Colbert wool can be worked without separation of strands, unlike traditional embroidery threads. Its thick diameter allows rapid coverage and a very regular appearance on the canvas.

• Use a tapestry needle No. 18 to 22 depending on your canvas to thread the thread effortlessly.
• Work with 35 to 40 cm needles to prevent the wool from fraying at the edges.
• Reserve this color for solid colors and large surfaces: Houblon yellow 7056 gives volume to the stitches.
• Pair it with navy blues or deep purples to create striking color contrasts.
• Dry clean only: Colbert wool requires delicate treatment, without soaking or machine.

For your canvas or small wall tapestry projects, complete your palette with Colbert wools in complementary shades — pearl grays, slate blues or purples beautifully structure geometric compositions. The French provenance of the yarn guarantees proven dye strength and natural elasticity appreciated by upholsterers.
