LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool has established itself as the essential ally for embroiderers on canvas. This pinkish beige 7120 captures the light with a natural softness, perfect for delicate backgrounds or subtle gradients on aida or cheesecloth.

Composition 100% wool , this 8 meter skein offers a warm and slightly satiny texture characteristic of the Colbert range. French manufacturing guaranteeing homogeneous dyeing and proven light fastness. Pink beige 7120 is perfect as an accompaniment to warmer tones such as corals or chocolate browns, or as a delicate contrast with pearl grays.

• Separate the strands carefully: Colbert wool is better tamed in two or three passes on medium canvas rather than in a single strand.
• For cross stitches or traditional tapestry stitches, work with 30 to 40 cm needles to avoid premature felting.
• This pinkish beige is also suitable for appliqué work on linen or raw cotton: the material effect brings relief to the finishes.
• Combine this shade with off-white for very modern gradients or shading effects on small rooms.
• Perfect for restoring or completing old canvases: the color fits harmoniously into vintage palettes.

Combine this pinkish beige 7120 with DMC Mouliné Special yarns in the same shades to create clean contours, or with other Colbert wools in light gray for a subtle pointillist effect. Tapestry wool should be cleaned in cold water with a mild detergent, away from direct heat sources.
