LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas or tapestry projects, Colbert DMC wool is a safe bet. The Bois de Violette 7266 color offers a deep and nuanced shade, oscillating between plum and mauve, perfect for creating volume and depth in your works. This 100% virgin wool wool is easily worked with a tapestry needle, with a regular texture which ensures even coverage of the canvas.

8 meter skein in 100% wool , made in France according to DMC standards. Colbert Wool is distinguished by its lustrous appearance and its flexibility, which makes it easier to pass through the stitches without excessive lint. Its fineness — compatible with needle No. 18 to 20 — makes it an ideal choice for fine details as well as more generous solid areas.

The Bois de Violette 7266 color goes particularly well with ocher, khaki or warm gray tones for a natural and sophisticated effect. Also consider pairing it with off-whites or creams to create contrast in borders or geometric patterns.

• Work with needle lengths of 45 to 50 cm to preserve the integrity of the yarn and avoid premature wear of the fibers.
• For a regular flat color, stretch your canvas slightly and maintain constant pressure with the needle, without forcing.
• Combine several strands of the same color to create subtle shadows, especially on the back areas or floral gradients.
• On a thinner embroidery canvas (11 or 14 threads), mentally divide the thread or measure the thickness to adapt the cover to your project.
• Take inspiration from animal or botanical motifs: this deep shade transcends hedgehogs, birds or autumn foliage.

Combine this wool with Bohin or Prym tapestry needles for fluid sewing, and complete your palette with complementary tones from the Colbert range — pearl gray, golden ocher or natural white — to structure your composition without overloading the lines.
