LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is essential for all your embroidery projects on canvas. This robust and regular thread is the preferred choice for embroiderers who seek to structure their works with a noble and durable material.

Made of 100% wool, this 8 meter skein offers a generous thickness ideal for cross stitching on medium to large count canvas. The color Pink Verbena 7135 displays a deep, slightly aged pink hue, which enriches floral patterns and geometric compositions. Made in France , this wool combines tradition and quality recognized for generations.

• Work with a 20 to 22 needle on 12 stitches per cm canvas for optimal, lint-free coverage.
• Place the skein in a bath of warm, soapy water before first use to stabilize the fibers and prevent shrinkage.
• Combine it with complementary colors in Colbert wool — pearl grays or off-whites enhance it in gradients.
• Store your balls in a dry place away from direct light: natural wool is sensitive to excessive humidity.
• Clean your finished work by soaking it for a few minutes in cold water with mild shampoo, then dry it gently without twisting.

Combine this Colbert wool with good quality canvas and carpet needles for impeccable finishes. Embroiderers particularly appreciate this range for its regularity of twist and its ability to slide across the canvas without unnecessary resistance.
