LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Terre Rose 7196 color is the essential ally for your canvas and tapestry works. This 8m skein of 100% wool offers a rich texture and natural shine that enhances every stitch. The color Terre rose 7196, in a warm terracotta pink shade, adapts equally well to floral patterns and modern geometric compositions.

Made in France , this wool guarantees exceptional quality and stable dyeing after successive washes. The pure wool fiber provides ideal flexibility for the embroidery canvas: it slides easily through the needle without breaking and creates regular, shiny stitches. To be used on Aida canvas, cheesecloth or Penelope canvas depending on the desired thickness.

• Work with a 40 to 50 cm needle to preserve the fiber and avoid fraying at the end of the skein.
• Combine Terre rose 7196 with neutral shades — beige, pearl gray, off-white — for a subtle and timeless look.
• Adapt the number of strands to your canvas: use the entire thread for a 10 point/cm canvas, divide it for tighter canvases.
• Reinforce the contours of a pattern with a simple Boulogne stitch for a discreet relief.
• Wash with lukewarm water and mild soap, without spinning: pure wool does not tolerate intense machine cycles.

Combine this wool with size 20 or 22 tapestry needles, and complete your palette with other Colbert colors — Terracotta 7206, Dusty pink 7211, Natural beige 7380 — to create harmonious gradients. An 8 m skein easily covers an area of ​​10 × 10 cm in tight cross stitch.
