LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Does your tapestry project require wool in deep, nuanced colors? DMC Colbert Tapestry Wool 486 in Dark Rosewood color 7195 offers exactly this chromatic richness. This 8 m skein in 100% virgin wool can be worked in cross stitch, stem stitch or canvas on the most varied embroidery canvases, from fine fabrics to canvases with large holes.

A 100% virgin wool made in France, renowned for its softness and durability over time. The Dark Rosewood color 7195 reveals a deep pink, almost mauve hue, which soothes without overwhelming the work. 8 meters are enough to border a composition or fill a medium-sized surface. The yarn does not lint, it tapers clearly with the needles and retains its shine after delicate washing.

• Work in a single strand for fine details and subtle gradients on aida or cheesecloth.
• Use two strands for regular flat areas, particularly on uniform canvas or embroidery frame.
• Combine Dark Rosewood 7195 with taupe grays or natural shades for a sober and timeless look.
• Carry out a first wash in lukewarm soapy water before storing your work, in order to set the color.
• Ideal for restoring or completing an old tapestry: color 7195 easily matches classic palettes.

Combine this wool with 14 or 18 count Aida fabrics, Zweigart canvases and embroidery needles of suitable diameter. For a textured finish, combine it with Mouliné Special cotton threads in complementary shades of powder pink or vermilion red.
