LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is a noble fiber specially designed for embroidery on canvas, cross stitch on embroidery canvas and all tapestry work. The Poterie 7173 color, a warm beige with earthy nuances, brings a subtle depth to the works without overwhelming the whole. Made in France, this wool guarantees consistent quality and recognized know-how in the French textile sector.

100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein can be worked with the tapestry needles adapted to your canvas. The fiber provides good coverage of the canvas and slides easily into the stitches without linting. French manufacturing — an asset for designers attached to short circuits and the traceability of their materials.

• Evaluate your need in meters: 8 meters covers a medium to small sized pattern. For a larger project, provide several skeins of complementary colors.
• Adapt the needle to the thickness of the canvas: the denser the canvas, the finer the needle must be so that the wool slides without forcing.
• Work with lengths of 40 to 50 cm to preserve the fiber and limit wear of the thread when passing through the canvas.
• Poterie 7173 blends easily with ochres, pearl grays and light browns for natural gradients.
• Make sure that the chosen canvas is suitable for tapestry wool: canvases with 10 or 12 threads per centimeter offer a good balance with this fiber thickness.

Combine this wool with the Colbert range to vary the colors on the same work. The Pottery colors coordinate particularly well with natural linen or raw cotton canvases, providing a very contemporary palette consistency. For finishes, consider DMC embroidery canvases or Aida canvases depending on your project.
