LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

To embroider with cross stitch on canvas or create a tapestry in intense colors, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Indian pink 7153 offers an incomparable richness of tone. This 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool, produced in France, guarantees color fastness and stitch regularity that designers are looking for.

With a tight structure and a regular twist, this 100% wool does not lint and can be worked with great ease on high-count fabrics. The Indian Pink color 7153, seen on the skein, offers a deep magenta pink shade which structures the canvas works like a real centerpiece. French manufacturing : each meter benefits from DMC know-how established in France for generations.

This wool can be worked on medium count (10 to 14 stitches per inch) and thick (7 to 8 stitches per inch) canvas, using cross stitch, Beauvais stitch or art stitch. The 8 meters of the skein are enough for a medium-sized pattern or a solid area on a classic format canvas board.

• Thread the needle to a length of 45 cm to prevent the wool from fraying while working.
• Superimpose two or three strands depending on the thickness of the canvas and the desired material effect.
• Work with a drum or loom to maintain the tension of the canvas and ensure regular rows.
• Indian pink 7153 blends beautifully with pearl grays and beiges for a timeless gradient.
• Clean your work in lukewarm water with a mild soap, then dry flat to preserve the color and elasticity of the wool.

To combine with other colors in the Colbert range to create subtle palettes: Indian Pink 7153 harmonizes with peach tones, pale pink and even discreet mauves. Store your skeins away from direct light to avoid fading over time.
