This 8 meter skein offers a noble material and an incomparable finish for all your cross stitch projects on canvas or traditional tapestry.

Made up of 100% virgin wool , this wool guarantees exceptional durability over time and unalterable richness of color.

French manufacturing : each skein is produced in France according to DMC quality standards recognized worldwide.

Colbert Wool is worked on embroidery canvas, particularly on Penelope weft or regular weft. A single thread passes through the needle, covering one stitch at a time for a dense and even finish. This structure makes it perfect for flat areas of color as well as subtle gradients.

• Thread a short needle (tapestry needle no. 20 or 22) to minimize friction and preserve the fiber.
• Adapt the size of the canvas to the wool number: 486 is suitable for 10-point or 12-point canvases for optimal comfort.
• Work in needles of 40 to 50 cm to avoid premature wear and guarantee uniformity of the stitch.
• Block and lightly dampen the work at the end to fix the structure and deepen the colors.
• Combine with Colbert wools in lighter or darker shades to create natural gradients and volume effects on your floral or geometric patterns.

Pair this Bark 7275 with complementary shades from the Colbert range: warm beiges (color chart 7746), deep grays (color chart 7268) or discreet ochres (color chart 7505) to create classic harmonies. Also perfect in combination with DMC metallic threads to add touches of light to your rooms.
