LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For a tapestry in soft and bright colors, Colbert 486 wool in pink hyacinth color 7133 offers a delicate and nuanced shade. This powder pink goes well with light tones as well as deeper shades, allowing subtle gradients on medium or large point canvas. Work this 8 meter skein with chain stitch or needle stitch to easily cover surfaces without passing through too many strands.

This wool of 100% virgin wool benefits from French manufacturing and is particularly suitable for canvas works and traditional tapestry. The tight, regular mesh of the thread ensures even coverage on all types of embroidery canvas. Using a tapestry needle, it slips easily into stitches without fraying, even on denser counts.

• Use two or three lengths in parallel to quickly cover large areas with a floral or geometric pattern.
• Tint lightly with a light gray to create shadows that structure the petals or foliage.
• Combine this pink with off-white and beige for a romantic shades without bland.
• Prepare needles of 30 cm maximum to prevent the wool from wearing out with repeated passes.
• Wind unused lengths around a spool to preserve the color away from direct light.

This wool combines effortlessly with the pearl gray colors and warm whites of the Colbert range, creating a very modern pastel harmony. It also accompanies burgundy or aubergine shades for a soft but present contrast in white embroidery enhanced with shades.
