LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and embroidery work on canvas. This 100% wool yarn offers a richness of hue and a depth of color that only the noble fiber can give. Brown 7176, warm and nuanced, lends itself equally well to thick backgrounds and structured details, bringing an authentic dimension to your works.

Specifically designed for canvas and traditional embroidery, this wool is worked with a tapestry needle on embroidery canvas. The 8 meter skein provides good coverage for a medium sized pattern. Made in France , this wool benefits from DMC's historical know-how in textiles. The 100% wool fiber guarantees natural flexibility and lasting hold over time.

The brown color 7176 proves to be particularly versatile: it creates elegant contrasts with light shades and combines harmoniously with earth and rust tones for a warm finish. On canvas with a visible weft or a fine weft, this wool covers generously and regularly, without excessive tension.

• Work with short needles, 20 to 30 cm, to preserve the fiber and avoid fraying during repeated passes.
• Superimpose two or three passes of thread to fill the squares of the canvas and obtain homogeneous and shiny coverage.
• For flat areas, maintain regular tension: the wool relaxes slightly as you work.
• Dry cleaning preferably, or delicate wash in cold water. Avoid hot water which could dull the fiber.
• Combine this brown 7176 with complementary shades such as beige, anthracite gray or burgundy to create very noble patterns.

To complete your palette, combine this wool with other shades of browns and earthy hues from the DMC Colbert range, or explore contrasts with petrol blues and olive greens. A Bohin or Prym tapestry needle spool will make it easier to pass the thread evenly through the canvas.
