LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Tapestry can be enjoyed with cross stitch or stem stitch, and this Colbert 486 wool in Pink Pepper 7205 color gives character to each work. Rich in a deep pink, slightly gray hue, it structures the patterns without ever crushing them, perfect for backgrounds or medium-sized solid areas.

A 100% pure wool , made in France, which can be worked without division. The 8 m skein offers a generous length for standard size patterns: allow 40 cm of needle to prevent the thread from fraying over time. This regular thickness guarantees uniform coverage on Penelope canvas or cheesecloth.

Pink Pepper 7205 naturally matches paler pinks and warm grays to create subtle gradients. It is also superb in relief on a neutral background, where its saturation stands out without artifice.

• Choose steel needles no. 18 to 20 for regular passage through the stitches of the canvas.
• For large areas, divide the needle into two 40 cm passes rather than just one: the wool will slide better.
• Test on a fragment of canvas before starting your work, to check the desired density.
• This pink is perfect for romantic floral patterns as well as contemporary geometries.
• Dry cleaning or very delicate washing in cold water: pure wool fears thermal shock.

Combine this wool with complementary tones — pearl gray, warm beige, terracotta — to play on contrasts without saturating. Experienced embroiderers appreciate it for interior decoration pieces, cushions and hangings where the finesse of the rendering takes precedence over the speed of execution.
