LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in old pink 7223 is your ally for large-scale canvas and embroidery projects. This 8 meter skein of 100% wool offers rich texture and generous coverage, ideal for high-count canvas cross-stitch or traditional tapestry techniques.

Spun in France, this wool benefits from recognized French know-how . The old pink color 7223 is calming and sophisticated at the same time: neither too pale nor too saturated, it goes well with pearl grays, ivory creams and even gray blues for harmonious compositions. 100% natural wool , it can be dry cleaned or delicately washed in cold, without agitation.

Available in a single unit of 8 meters per skein, this packaging easily covers a medium-sized pattern in thrown stitch or stem stitch on Penelope canvas or cheesecloth.

• Wind your thread needle about 40 to 50 centimeters to avoid knots or folds in the weft.
• On a canvas with 10 or 14 points per inch, this volume of wool is sufficient for small area details or solid areas.
• Always test your stitch on a scrap of canvas: natural wool settles slightly after the first passes.
• Combine this old pink with blacks or charcoal grays for a refined contrast, or with lighter pinks for a soft gradient.
• Store away from direct light to preserve the color intensity over several years.

To complete your work, consider Bohin tapestry needles or Penelope DMC canvases in fineness 10 or 14. Old pink 7223 also pairs beautifully with natural beige wool or ecru linen for the outlines and backgrounds.
