LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For a structured canvas that resists time, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the reference choice. Spun in France, this wool offers ideal density and regularity for covering standard count canvases, from small patterns to large wall panels. The Aube rose 7123 color soothes compositions: this powdery pink, slightly gray, complements pastel blues as well as warm tones without ever dominating.

Composition: 100% virgin wool , which guarantees exemplary durability over the years. French manufacturing ensures total traceability and compliance with the historic quality standards of the DMC brand. Each skein of 8 meters represents a comfortable working length, without unnecessary knots. The natural fiber can be worked without lint, even on tight canvases, and catches the light beautifully once installed.

• Work with needles of 45 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from fraying at the end of the strands.
• On an 18 stitch count, this wool easily covers a 10 x 10 cm square in about three hours.
• Combine Aube rose 7123 with a gray-blue for the shadows and an off-white for the highlights: you will create a natural and very contemporary gradient.
• Block your finished work with gentle steam to fix the stitches and amplify the shine of the fiber.
• Save your leftovers: a few strands of pink Aube slip easily into a cross stitch or linen embroidery to create chromatic harmony between several projects.

To reinforce the strength of your finished canvas, combine this wool with a professional quality canvas and a specialized thread grommet for thick wools: you will thus avoid any fraying of the thread during stitching.
