LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool offers a delicate and timeless shade for your canvas and tapestry works. Poivre blanc 7065 is a very lightly tinted pearl gray, ideal for subtle gradients or neutral backgrounds that highlight more saturated patterns.

Composition: this 8 meter skein is woven from 100% wool , guaranteeing a velvety finish and excellent resistance to light. Made in France , it benefits from the recognized know-how of French textile manufacturers. The thread is dense and regular, ideal for filling tight stitches without leaving gaps.

The Poivre blanc 7065 color is distinguished by its discreet depth: neither pure white nor pure gray, it plays on nuances to create perspective on canvas. This shade combines remarkably with deep blacks, ivories and anthracite grays to create harmonious palettes.

• Thread the entire skein for large areas and dense surfaces, or divide it into two or three strands depending on the desired texture effect.
• Work with needles of moderate length — around 40 centimeters — to prevent the wool from rubbing against itself and linting.
• Use it to create subtle backgrounds that recede optically, letting the main patterns breathe and assert themselves.
• For a pearlescent gradient, alternate Poivre blanc 7065 with a lighter gray or a neighboring off-white shade.
• This wool is suitable for cross stitch, satin stitch, leaning canvas and all traditional tapestry stitches.

Combine this shade with other colors in the Colbert DMC range to enrich your palette: the warmer shades — beige, ochre, powder pink — contrast deliciously with this pearl gray and create balanced compositions. An essential reference for anyone looking for a reliable and durable neutral base.
