LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is your ally for all embroidery projects on canvas and small crochet. This 100% wool yarn, made in France, offers ideal strength and softness for projects requiring hold and comfort in use.

This 8 meter skein in color Lead 7066 — a deep, nuanced gray — is easily worked with a tapestry needle on regular canvas or Aida canvas. Colbert wool is characterized by its compact and twisted structure, which makes it non-separable : you use it as is, without splitting the strands. This particularity makes it a robust thread, perfect for quickly filling surfaces in cross stitch, satin stitch or stem stitch.

Plomb 7066 naturally combines with shades of cool grays, slate blues and blacks to create subtle gradients or discreet contrasts.

• Work on canvas with 14 to 18 points per centimeter for even coverage and a clean finish.
• Cut needles of 45 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from fraying at the ends.
• Dry cleaning recommended for embroidered works in Colbert: this wool retains its volume and color without washing.
• Accumulate several skeins of the same color if your pattern requires a large surface area: the result will be uniform.
• Combine with lighter Colbert threads or off-whites to create subtle shading lighting effects.

Combine this Plomb 7066 wool with other shades from the Colbert range — gray, petroleum blue, black — to structure landscapes or geometric compositions. On natural or primed canvas, it offers a richness of material that synthetic threads cannot compete with.
