LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and embroidery work on canvas. This 100% wool yarn offers a rich texture and natural shine that enhances every stitch, from the small minute detail to the generous surface. The dark petrol blue color 7288 displays all its depth on plain or counted canvas, bringing timeless maritime elegance to your projects.

Composition and use : 100% virgin wool, this 8 m skein is worked with a tapestry needle, on Penelope canvas or reinforced Aida canvas. Its thick fiber quickly covers surfaces, reducing working time without sacrificing the finesse of the result. Made in France, this wool benefits from recognized expertise in stable and durable colors.

• Use this wool for colored areas on 5 or 7 point canvas, where its corpulence ensures uniform and shiny coverage.
• Combine petroleum blue 7288 with neutral shades — pearl gray, off-white, black — to create subtle marine gradients without visual heaviness.
• For fine details or contours, separate the fibers slightly or prefer a finer thread in color coordination.
• Work with needles of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fraying or losing its shine.
• This wool accepts both cross stitch and half stitch; adapt the tension of your stitches to the weave of your canvas.

Combine this skein with finishing accessories: Bohin tapestry needles guarantee regular sliding without snagging the fibers. A small white or ivory Penelope canvas will reveal all the depth of the petrol blue 7288, while an ecru Aida canvas will highlight the contrasts more.
