LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is distinguished by its French manufacturing and its composition of 100% virgin wool, ideal for all your canvas and tapestry projects. The Tempête 7285 color, a deep and nuanced gray, brings structure to large surfaces without visually overloading the work. This 8 m skein offers a generous length to cover large areas or create subtle gradients.

Material and origin: 100% virgin wool, French manufacturing. The natural fiber is easy to work with, sliding regularly on the tapestry needle. The generous thickness of the thread fits perfectly on standard canvases, from cross stitch to stem stitch. The wool does not fluff with use and retains its color over time.

The Tempête 7285 color combines elegantly with deep blues, pearl grays and touches of black for classic or contemporary compositions. Use with a #18 to 20 tapestry needle, depending on the thickness of your canvas.

• Work in needles of 60 to 70 cm to prevent the wool from fraying at the ends.
• Combine Tempête gray with warm tones – ocher, rust – for a harmonious contrast on Aida Linen canvas.
• On 12-point canvas, this thread covers generously in a single pass, ideal for solid colors.
• Store your skeins away from direct light to maintain the intensity of the gray.
• Virgin wool can be cleaned dry or by hand in warm, soapy water, never in the machine.

Complete your work by combining this Colbert wool with Bohin or Prym tapestry needles, and a 12 or 14 point Lin Aida canvas for a professional finish.
