LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for embroiderers who work on canvas with cross stitch or satin stitch. This thick, structured 100% wool yarn threads easily onto medium-sized canvas, providing even coverage and a natural shine that enhances each design. Made in France, this wool guarantees consistent quality and responsible sourcing.

Packaged in 8 meter skeins, the color Blanc d'ail 7282 is a slightly grayed warm white which creates subtle contrasts on more intense backgrounds. Its 100% wool composition gives it remarkable flexibility and the ability to cover fabrics without lint. The skein is easily divided to adapt the thickness to your canvas: work it whole for a generous result, or divide it into two or three threads for more finesse.

• Thread the appropriate caliber embroidery needle and prefer needles of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from tiring into twigs.
• On Aïda 14 canvas or penelope canvas, this wool creates dense and regular stitches effortlessly; ideal for small to medium sized rooms.
• Garlic Blanc 7282 goes well with warm tones (ochre, beige, powder pink) for a timeless palette, or with grays and blue-grays for a more contemporary effect.
• Interweave with other DMC Colbert shades to create subtle gradients and natural shading.
• Store unused skeins away from direct light to preserve the natural shine of the wool.

Combine this wool with a well-made penelope canvas and a specialized embroidery needle to fully exploit the quality of the fiber. Embroiderers who appreciate natural materials and regularity will find in Colbert DMC a reliable and pleasant working base to use on all their petit point projects.
