LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in azalea pink 7255 is the essential companion for your canvas and cross-stitch projects on canvas. This deep pink color with powdery nuances brings warmth and subtlety to delicate patterns, from stylized flowers to intimate landscapes.

Made of 100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein is distinguished by its fineness and regularity. It threads easily onto the finest embroidery needles and can be worked in one or two layers depending on the density of your canvas. Made in France, it benefits from recognized French textile know-how. Its soft touch and natural shine guarantee an elegant finish on all types of embroidery canvas.

Azalea rose 7255 goes perfectly with neutral tones — pearl gray, linen beige, off-white — for harmonious compositions. It also interacts with lighter pinks for a subtle gradient or with fly greens for an authentic floral touch.

• Work this wool in one or two thicknesses depending on the count of your canvas: one thickness for thin canvases, two for standard embroidery canvases.
• Limit your needles to 40 centimeters to preserve the shine of the thread and avoid felting.
• Azalea pink is suitable for botanical patterns, stem stitch initials and chain stitch solids.
• For a professional finish, comb your yarn with a fine comb before use: this smoothes the fibers and intensifies the shine.
• This color can be cleaned in cold water with a delicate soap; let dry flat without twisting the piece.

Combine this wool with Bohin or Prym embroidery needles in sizes 18 to 22, and with Aida 14 or 16 canvas for your small format projects. Embroiderers looking for an alternative to silk will appreciate the strength of this wool and its resistance to repeated washing.
