LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Plume rose 7171 color is your ally for canvas and cross-stitch projects on embroidery canvas. This 8m skein of 100% virgin wool offers rich texture and incomparable depth of color on regular weave fabrics. The powder pink of this color soothes compositions while giving them warmth, ideal for floral patterns or delicate gradients.

Material and origin: 100% wool made in France, this Colbert wool benefits from recognized French know-how in dyeing and spinning. Packaging: an 8 m skein is enough to cover medium-sized surfaces or create colorful accents in a larger composition. Compatibility: can be worked on canvas and embroidery canvas using a regular cross stitch; also ideal for stem stitch or satin stitching.

• Use a #18 or 20 canvas needle depending on your canvas for a smooth, lint-free passage.
• Divide the wool slightly for fine details, work in full strands for covering areas.
• The Plume rose color 7171 harmonizes perfectly with pearl grays and deeper pinks for subtle gradients.
• Test the color fastness by dampening a small piece of wool: this DMC wool resists moderate washing in cold water.
• Store your skeins away from humidity and direct light to preserve the intensity of the pink.

Combine this wool with medium density Aida or cheesecloth, and complete with ranges of warmer pinks or pale greens for harmonious and successful embroidery.
