LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is essential for your canvas and cross-stitch projects on coarse canvas. Mauve 7241 deploys a delicate, slightly gray shade, ideal for subtle gradients or structured solid areas. This 8m skein of 100% wool provides generous coverage for medium sized designs.

Composition and manufacturing : Entirely composed of 100% wool, this tapestry wool benefits from French manufacturing which guarantees constant quality and stable dyeing. The uniform gauge thread ensures even coverage on the canvas, without fraying or annoying lint. Work it on 14 or 18 stitch canvas with a properly sized tapestry needle.

Mauve 7241 blends harmoniously with the other colors in the Colbert range: deep blues for a discreet contrast, pearl grays for smooth transitions, or off-whites for a light effect.

• Thread your tapestry needle with a length of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fraying while working.
• Work in full or half cross stitch depending on your canvas and your desired result.
• Place a fine cloth on your finished work and iron at low temperature to even out the stitches.
• Adapt the thickness of the thread by dividing or superimposing the strands according to the count of your canvas.
• Create gradients by alternating Mauve 7241 with a lighter color from the range for a subtle volume effect.

This French tapestry wool is the ideal ally for your classic embroidery projects, experienced or beginner embroiderers. Complete your work with Aida or linen fabric for a harmonious finish.
