LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas works, Colbert DMC wine red wool 7184 offers a deep and warm shade, ideal for backgrounds or structuring details. This 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool is worked with a tapestry needle on embroidery canvas of different counts.

Composition and manufacturing : 100% virgin wool, made in France. The natural thickness of the Colbert thread, very regular, allows uniform coverage of the canvas without excessive lint. Each skein contains 8 meters of continuous yarn, sufficient for details or small areas.

The wine red color 7184 combines the richness of a deep red with slightly browned nuances, typical of noble shades for classic tapestry. It combines harmoniously with burgundy, ochres or grays to create subtle gradients.

• Work in needles of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fraying at the end of the yarn.
• On an embroidery canvas of 10 stitches per cm, this skein covers approximately 15 to 20 cm² in tight cross stitch.
• Pair this wine red with pine greens and blue-grays for floral or heraldic motifs.
• Dry cleaning recommended or delicate wash at 30°C maximum if the finished item requires maintenance.
• Perfect for restoring or completing old tapestries thanks to its timeless and authentic color.

Combine this wool with tapestry needles sized to match your canvas count, and with complementary tones from the Colbert range to create rich, long-lasting color harmonies.
