LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

A true ally of the upholsterer and embroiderer, this Colbert DMC wool skein in Mauve 7711 color is essential for your canvas and traditional embroidery works. The depth of this slightly gray mauve makes it a versatile shade, capable of structuring a pattern as well as creating subtle gradients on embroidery canvas.

Made up of 100% virgin wool , this tapestry wool is distinguished by its lightfastness and its resistance to washing . The 8 meter skein offers a generous length for medium-sized projects. Made in France, it guarantees traditional textile know-how that designers have trusted for decades. The structure of the thread allows for smooth needlework, without snags or unwanted fraying.

• Work on Aida canvas or fine cheesecloth: mauve 7711 gives its full measure in solid color as in cross stitch.
• Thread the needle with a length of 40 to 50 cm to avoid friction which could dull the fiber.
• Pair this mauve with pearl grays or lighter purples for gradient shading; natural shades and creams highlight the warmth.
• For floral designs or historical works, this classic color pairs harmoniously with soft pinks and sage greens.
• Wash the finished work in lukewarm water with a mild soap; Colbert wool retains its color and shine for a long time.

To combine with the other shades of the Colbert range for ambitious projects: the mauves vary in intensity and allow subtle transitions. This wool also works well with the right needles — look for medium-weight ones for easy threading and an even stitch.
