LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and canvas embroidery projects. This pinkish brown 7168, nuanced and warm, brings depth and elegance to delicate patterns as well as thick compositions. Worked on Penelope or Aïda canvas, it is suitable for petit point as well as for modern embroiderers looking for an alternative to traditional threads.

100% virgin wool , this 8 m skein offers French manufacturing guaranteeing quality and respect for artisanal processes. The thread, structured and slightly shiny, does not lint and slides easily under the needle. Its generous thickness covers medium or fine point canvases without requiring multiple thicknesses.

• Use the No. 18 or No. 20 tapestry needle for regular tension without forcing.
• Limit your needles to 40 cm to preserve the wool and prevent it from fraying at the ends.
• Combine several shades from the Colbert range to create subtle gradients on fine canvas.
• Test pinkish brown 7168 at the edge of a floral pattern to highlight the contours with finesse.
• For optimal care, wash in cold water with mild soap, then let dry flat.

This wool blends elegantly with pearl grays and beiges from the same range to create timeless harmonies. Perfect for restoring old canvases or embroidering something that will last for generations.
