LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is your ally for all petit point, canvas and embroidery projects on aida canvas. This sturdy 100% virgin wool yarn offers exceptional hold, ideal for creating long-lasting designs that won't fray over the course of the needle. Made in France, this wool guarantees a quality of work recognizable with each stitch.

Technical characteristics: 8 meter skein in pure wool, non-separable. The Blue Seagull color 7292 displays a subtle bluish-gray hue, perfect for marine gradients or neutral backgrounds that highlight embroidered details. Its medium thickness is suitable for standard canvas (Penelope 8 to 10 threads/cm or Aida 14).

• Work with fine crochet needles or #20 tapestry needles for smooth insertion without rubbing the fiber.
• Prepare needles of 45 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from curling or fluffing under repeated friction.
• Use Blue Seagull 7292 in solid color for the backgrounds of distant trees, or in gradient with lighter grays for an atmospheric effect.
• This wool requires no removal of strands: put it on directly and work to the desired density according to your stitch.
• For maintenance, clean your finished works in cold soapy water and leave to dry flat; This French wool supports delicate washing well.

Combine Mouette bleutée 7292 with off-whites or ecrus for a harmonious whole, or combine it with more intense navy blues to structure a composition. Its matte finish distinguishes it from shiny synthetic threads, giving your embroidery a much sought-after natural depth.
