LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Tapestry stitch embroidery requires a robust and regular wool: DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool meets this requirement with elegance. The Brume de rose color 7260 offers a soft, powdery shade, perfect for floral patterns, subtle gradients or airy backgrounds on embroidery canvas. This 8 m skein of 100% wool covers a medium surface area without interruption, ideal for cushion squares or small panels.

Composition and origin : 100% virgin wool, made in France. This French manufacturing guarantee ensures consistent quality and a color that is stable in the light. The wool has a regular thickness which slides easily into the stitches of the canvas and creates clean stitches, without fraying under the fingers.

The Colbert 486 is worked on embroidery canvas with small or medium stitches, using tapestry or cross-stitch needles of suitable size (generally 18 to 20 depending on your canvas count). Brume de rose 7260 combines remarkably with pearl grays, off-whites and foliage greens to create elegant and timeless paintings.

• Thread the needle with a single strand for a smooth and even finish on small canvases.
• Work with needle lengths of 30 to 35 cm to prevent the wool from fraying.
• First test on a leftover piece of canvas: wool absorbs humidity and can slightly change its color after humidification.
• Brume de rose 7260 enhances retro geometric patterns or homemade cross stitch on table linen.
• This shade also lends itself to chain stitch or ladder stitch to draw curved, flowing lines.

Complete your creation by combining this color with skeins of Colbert in complementary shades, or with a white or ecru Aida embroidery canvas for a soft contrast. Also consider a canvas stabilizer if you are embroidering a work that must last over time.
