LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool, ultramarine blue color 7245, is the ideal fiber for your embroidery work on canvas and tapestry. In 100% virgin wool, it offers a richness of deep color and a matte finish characteristic of traditional canvas works.

This 8 meter skein in 100% wool is made in France according to DMC standards. Ultramarine blue 7245 stands out for its intense saturation, perfect for solid colors as well as dotted gradients. The regular diameter and gentle twist of the fiber guarantee easy gliding through the mesh of the canvas, without fraying.

Available in many coordinated colors, this wool comes in shades from turquoise blue to the deepest navy blue, allowing you to create harmonious palettes for your creations.

• Combine this ultramarine blue with gold or ocher tones for a warm contrast on Pénélope canvas.
• Use tapestry needle No. 20 or 22 depending on the count of your canvas for impeccable coverage.
• Divide the skein into two strands if you are working on a fine canvas or a high-end cross stitch.
• Thread needles of maximum 50 cm to preserve the shine and uniformity of the thread when working.
• This thick color lends itself wonderfully to landscape embroideries: stormy skies, deep sea, volume shading.

Combine this ultramarine blue 7245 with pearl grays, off-whites and natural beiges from the DMC Colbert range to create balanced compositions. Warm shades such as ocher 7437 or red 7256 are excellent highlights, while the lighter blues of the series allow you to create subtle gradients.
