LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Are you looking for a wool in warm colors for your canvas or tapestry projects? DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool, Osier 7057 color, offers this warm and natural shade which structures the patterns without overloading the work. This 8 m skein in 100% virgin wool is worked with a tapestry needle on regular or Aida canvas.

A 100% natural wool made in France , known for its strength and regularity. The Osier 7057 color has this slightly mustard golden shade that evokes autumnal shades. Ideal for medium-sized cross stitches, half-points and solid areas , it covers approximately an area of ​​15 to 20 cm² depending on the density of your canvas.

• Thread the needle with a length of 40 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from fraying while working.
• Combine Osier 7057 with lighter shades — cream or ivory — to create a natural gradient in highlighted areas.
• Before starting your work, test the stability of the color by lightly dampening a strand on a white cloth: DMC wool does not stretch.
• Apply a simple cross stitch or half stitch to let the underlying canvas breathe on the small details.
• Consider tying your thread at the back of the canvas rather than tying knots: this improves regularity and finish.

Pair this wool with complementary tones — pearl gray, chocolate brown, or pine green — to enrich your palette. It also pairs easily with strands of finer embroidery thread for details, which allows you to play on the levels of relief in your composition.
