LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the ally of embroiderers looking for a noble material that is easy to work with. This Cerise 7139 color, a deep red and slightly tinged with purple, brings warmth and richness to every stitch. Perfect for canvas, tapestry or traditional embroidery, this wool slips on effortlessly and lays regularly on the canvas.

A 100% virgin wool, made in France , which combines finesse and hold. The 8 meter skein allows you to cover a generous surface area without interruption. Its moderate thickness makes it compatible with most canvases and can be worked with medium-sized needles. The smooth and soft texture prevents fraying and guarantees a clean finish, even in gradients.

• Blend Cerise 7139 with a powder pink to create delicate flowers with shaded petals.
• Combine this rich red with pearl grays or teal blues for a sophisticated geometric pattern.
• Work the background stitch in two passes: one layer in Cerise, then a second in lighter pink to thicken the texture.
• Use a #20 or #22 tapestry needle for this wool, depending on the thickness of your canvas.
• Cut needles of 50 cm maximum to prevent the wool from fraying at the ends.

Combine this Cerise 7139 with gold or silver threads for the finishing touches of an exceptional canvas pattern. Embroiderers also like to combine it with sienna or ocher tones for a warm and timeless look, or with ivories for bright contrasts.
