LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Cross-stitch or stem-stitch tapestry gains relief and depth with this Colbert DMC wool. The pigeon gray color 7232 offers a soft and timeless shade, perfect for subtle shading or neutral backgrounds that let the pattern breathe. This 8 meter skein is easily needlepointed onto canvas or embroidery canvas, without dividing into strands like traditional embroidery threads.

100% wool , this noble material gives body to the stitches and a natural shine to the finished works. Made in France , the thread meets DMC quality standards. The regular thickness of Colbert 486 guarantees uniform coverage of the canvas, even on thin canvases such as 18 point per centimeter.

• Work in short needle lengths of 30 to 35 cm to prevent the wool from fluffing along the way.
• On a 14 point canvas, a needle covers approximately 8 to 10 points in length: save your yardage.
• Pigeon gray goes well with powdery tones (powder pink, ice blue) as well as more intense colors (burgundy, pine green) for elegant contrasts.
• Combine it with nuanced grays and off-whites to create discreet gradients in the background.
• Perfect your shades by alternating two rows of pigeon gray with a row of a lighter or darker gray.

Complete your range of grays with other shades of Colbert to create sophisticated harmonies. This wool also goes well with fine embroidery threads: use it to structure the contours while separate strands refine the interior details.
