LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is intended for embroidery projects on canvas, counted cross stitch and fine tapestry works. The Rose Eglantine color 7202 offers a delicate, slightly gray tint, which soothes floral arrangements or creates subtle gradients on Aida canvas. This 100% pure wool offers incomparable resistance and finish for regular and densely worked stitches.

Composition and technical characteristics: This 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool is easy to work on medium to fine counting canvas. The fiber, soft and shiny, does not lint during handling. Made in France, it guarantees consistent quality and light-stable dyeing. Its regular thickness allows for homogeneous filling, ideal for solid areas or progressive gradients.

• Use needles of 40 to 50 cm to avoid any fraying and maintain the regularity of the stitches.
• Use a size 18 to 22 tapestry needle depending on the desired thickness and count of your canvas.
• Combine Rose Eglantine 7202 with neutral tones — ivory, pearl gray, beige — for a timeless harmony.
• Create shading by lightly overlapping stitches, as wool provides good coverage even in one layer.
• For a three-dimensional effect on your canvas works, alternate Rosehip with a deeper pink or off-white.

This wool blends naturally with other DMC Colbert shades: complete your palette by combining this delicate pink with musky greens, lavender blues or straw yellows for authentic and balanced floral compositions.
