LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

A true ally of the canvas embroiderer, this skein of Colbert DMC wool offers the ideal shade for your tapestry projects. The color Rose Petal 7151 unfolds a delicate powder pink shade, neither too saturated nor too pale, which harmonizes equally well with pearl grays and warm beiges. Made in France, this wool guarantees constant quality and a beautiful evenness of color from one embroiderer to another.

Made of 100% wool , this 8 meter skein is primarily intended for canvas and tapestry on embroidery canvas. Colbert wool does not separate into strands: it is worked as is, directly with a tapestry needle. Its medium thickness makes it a versatile choice for covering backgrounds as well as for embroidering fine details according to your base canvas.

• Test the color on your canvas before embroidering: the lighting in the store may differ slightly from that in your workshop
• Use 40 to 50 cm needles to prevent the wool from fraying during work
• Store your skeins away from humidity and direct light to preserve the shine of the pink
• Combine this powder pink with other Colbert shades to create subtle gradients and give depth to your patterns
• Colbert wool can be washed gently in lukewarm water with a mild wool soap: check the resistance of your canvas before

Combine this wool with complementary tones: pearl gray, sandy beige or cream white for light areas, and a darker pink or mauve for the shadows. On a small, regular cross-stitch canvas, two or three skeins are enough to fill a medium-sized pattern.
