LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Blue Ink color 7297 is the essential ally for your canvas and tapestry works. This deep, nuanced blue brings remarkable visual density to embroiderers who seek to structure their compositions without overloading the canvas. The 8 meter skein offers a generous length to cover medium to large areas.

100% virgin wool yarn, made in France , this Colbert wool is distinguished by its robustness and its uniform appearance on the canvas. Its thickness of 486 makes it ideal for medium count grids. The natural fiber absorbs dyes evenly, producing a stable shade that lasts for years. Work with a tapestry needle suitable for counting your canvas, with needles of 40 to 50 cm to preserve the flexibility of the thread.

• Apply light tension during embroidery for a uniform result on the canvas
• Combine Blue Ink 7297 with pearl grays or sky blues to create subtle marine gradients
• Prefer delicate washes in warm soapy water to preserve the shine of the wool
• Wind the thread on a temporary spool if you are working several colors in a row, to avoid knots
• Use this color in the background to give relief to lighter patterns in the foreground

Complete your palette by combining it with other shades from the Colbert DMC range: the warm tones — ochre, brick red — contrast elegantly with this dense blue, while that the off-whites calm the composition. For durable and professional canvas work, it is the choice of demanding embroiderers.
