LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Rosewood color 7262 is the ideal choice for bringing your canvas and traditional embroidery works to life. This 8 meter skein of 100% virgin wool offers a palette of subtle and timeless shades, particularly suitable for small and medium-sized projects.

Composition and technical characteristics: 100% wool yarn, made in France according to DMC know-how. The regular thickness and smooth texture of Colbert 486 allow precise placement on embroidery canvas, while providing generous coverage in very few passes. Rosewood 7262, a soft, pinkish stain, lends itself to both backgrounds and floral details.

• Wind the skein around your finger before starting to avoid knots and maintain the regularity of the thread.
• Adapt the needle length to 40-50 cm to prevent premature wear of the thread during repeated passes.
• Work on Aida, cheesecloth or linen to obtain clean, even coverage without going over the same area twice.
• Combine several shades of the same gradient to create a harmonious shaded pattern without overwhelming the canvas.
• Wash your finished work in cold or lukewarm water with a gentle product specialized for wool, then let dry flat.

To complete your Colbert creations, combine this thread with Bohin or Prym embroidery needles, size 18 to 20 depending on your canvas. The complementary shades of the DMC Colbert range (pearl gray, sky blue, nuanced greens) harmonize perfectly with rosewood for refined floral or geometric compositions.
