LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For pointillist embroidery or a fine mesh canvas, DMC Colbert Tapestry Wool 486 in purple 7243 brings the depth and warmth of a rich, slightly muted purple shade. This 8 m skein is worked on embroidery canvas or small mesh canvas, where its fineness allows for great precision in rendering.

100% virgin wool , spun and dyed in France, this wool displays exceptional resistance to washing and a soft shine characteristic of DMC products. The skein is divided into fine strands, ideal for small to medium scale projects: floral patterns, lettering, subtle gradients. French manufacturing guarantees consistent quality and compliance with demanding ecological standards.

• Thread two strands together for light gradients and delicate shadows on fine canvas.
• Use full thread for dense solid areas on 18 point or thicker canvas.
• Prefer needle lengths of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fluffing during stitching.
• Combine purple 7243 with pearl grays and off-whites for a timeless harmony.
• Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap after finishing; wool cannot be tumble dried.

This wool goes perfectly with linen canvases from the DMC range or Aida canvases to create collector's items. A safe choice for embroiderers looking for subtle, stable color.
