LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

A true ally of canvas and tapestry, this skein of Colbert DMC wool offers a rich and deep Aubergine 7207 shade. The color changes subtly with the light, going from dark burgundy to velvety plum, making it an ideal choice for creating natural shadows and effortless gradients on your cross-stitch or canvas creations.

Composition 100% virgin wool finely worked to provide a soft and uniform shine. 8 meters of thread in four easily separable strands depending on the density of your canvas and the desired effect. This skein made in France guarantees constant quality and a stable coloring with natural dyeing. Colbert wool is ideal for fabrics with 10 to 22 stitches per inch.

• Separate the four strands to embroider on fine or uni-directional canvas: each thread comes off without creasing the others.
• Keep the four strands together for flat areas on large stitch canvas or embroider marked contours.
• First test on a scrap of canvas: wool absorbs humidity slightly and can slightly change its tone when exposed to water.
• Accentuate the contrast by combining Aubergine 7207 with light beiges or mouse grays for a contemporary geometric pattern.
• For a monochrome project, go from Aubergine 7207 to dusty pinks or moors for an elegant gradient.

Combine this eggplant with discreet metallic threads or shiny silks to enrich an embroidery with luminous accents. Embroiderers working on small format projects will appreciate that 8 meters are more than enough for a 10 x 10 cm pattern, without unnecessary leftovers.
