LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and canvas embroidery projects. This Raisin 7257 color, a deep and velvety purple, brings richness to delicate patterns and structured solids. Work it on Penelope or Aida canvas for regular stitches and an impeccable hold.

Composition: 100% virgin wool — a noble material which offers a warm finish and colors of great depth. This 8 meter tapestry wool is packaged in sturdy skeins, easy to thread with the needle. Made in France , it benefits from French textile know-how recognized for its regularity and durability.

• Use the entire skein for dense areas and uniform fillings on regular canvas.
• Combine Raisin 7257 with wine shades or anthracite grays to create sophisticated shading gradients.
• Cut needles of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fraying at the ends.
• Always test on a scrap of canvas: this wool is dry cleanable and cannot be machine washed.
• Perfect for embroidered paintings, canvas cushions and old tapestry restoration projects.

Combine this wool with a canvas suitable for regular cross stitch – a Penelope 10 or 14 will give you a classic result – and complete your palette with special short tapestry needles for fluid handling.
