LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Are you looking for a rich, deep wool for your canvas or tapestry work? DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool, red brown color 7169, offers a warm and sophisticated shade, ideal for creating effects of substance and depth on embroidery canvas. This 8 meter skein in 100% pure wool is easy to work with a tapestry needle and accompanies your small stitch projects as well as painted canvas.

Composition and characteristics : 100% virgin wool, made in France. The 8 meter skein allows you to cover a generous surface area depending on the stitch density chosen. Red brown 7169 has a chromatic richness that does not fade when washed in cold water and blends harmoniously with beiges, pearl grays or ocean blues for subtle gradients.

• Work with needles of 50 to 60 cm to prevent the fiber from fraying in dense canvas, or lengthen them to 80 cm in half-point on airy embroidery canvas.
• Use this solid wool to fill in large surfaces, then separate the strands for contours and fine details that require more precision.
• Wash your finished work in cold water with a mild soap, then dry it flat: the wool retains its natural shine without felting.
• Combine red brown 7169 with other Colbert colors to create shimmering shading or gradient shades.
• Ideal for small personal projects — cushions, frames, accessories — this skein will keep for a long time without drying out.

Combine this warm shade with neutral tones or ochres for timeless works. Colbert 486 wool is a must-have in the embroidery box for all lockstitch or cross-stitch work on rigid canvas.
