LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool has established itself as the reference thread for your canvas and cross-stitch projects on canvas. Cream 7170, this soft and luminous shade blends with your entire palette: it creates subtle gradients in combination with beiges and off-whites, and lays an essential base for complex patterns. Work with confidence on small and medium-dot canvases.

100% virgin wool combed and twisted for exemplary strength: each 8 meter skein allows you to cover a generous surface area without interruption. French manufacturing guarantees consistency of thickness and constant color retention, cycle after cycle. This wool does not lint and withstands frequent passage of the needle over canvas without fraying: a decisive advantage for embroiderers looking for durability.

• Separate a single thread: the fineness allows you delicate stitching on 14 or 16 point canvas.
• For densified flat areas, use two or three strands simultaneously on 10 point canvas.
• Pair Cream 7170 with pearl grays and taupe to create muted backgrounds that let the main pattern breathe.
• Clean your items with gentle hand washing in lukewarm water: the wool retains its natural shine.
• Wind the rest of the skein around a scrap of paper or a small piece of cardboard: it never gets tangled like this.

Combine this cream with the warm shades of the Colbert range — ochres, pinkish beiges, slightly gray ivories — to create timeless tapestries. An essential item in the embroidery box for any seamstress who approaches the canvas with high standards.
