LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in small gray 7234 is the reliable companion of embroiderers who work on canvas or who create large-scale cross-stitch projects. This 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool offers a warm texture and exceptional hold on regular canvas, without slipping or undue fraying.

French manufacturing : each strand comes from DMC workshops, guarantors of consistent quality. The Petit Gris color 7234 displays a slightly pinkish taupe shade, soothing and timeless, which goes well with both warm tones and cool blues. Colbert wool does not separate into strands: it can be worked as a whole, which guarantees dense coverage and a velvety finish on the canvas.

• Use this yarn on double or single pin canvas, depending on the desired finish: single pin for an airy texture, double for full coverage.
• Work with needles of 40 cm maximum to avoid fraying and preserve the flexibility of the thread.
• This wool supports dry cleaning: do not wash it, simply brush it with a soft brush if it becomes dusty.
• Petit gray 7234 is a neutral shade ideal for canvas backgrounds or for creating subtle gradients by combining it with lighter or darker grays.
• Perfect for medium-sized projects: cushion, small painting, bookmark, pocket, or delicate furnishing work.

Pair this wool with more vibrant DMC Colbert colors—pomegranate red 7107, ultramarine blue 7797—to create elegant contrasts, or combine it with other shades of gray for a subtle ombré effect. 18 or 22 point per inch canvases are your best allies for revealing the full depth of this timeless shade.
