LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas projects, this Colbert 486 wool offers a delicate and luminous shade. Moonlight blue 7298 calms compositions, whether creating a nuanced sky or bordering more intense patterns. It is an essential color for embroiderers looking for subtle and natural gradients.

Composition 100% wool , this skein of 8 meters can be worked on embroidery canvas or medium canvas. Colbert DMC wool does not separate into strands: it is passed through the tapestry needle as is, which guarantees regular and rapid coverage. Made in France , it benefits from consistent quality and a beautiful natural mattness which will flatter your works.

• Use a No. 18 or 20 tapestry needle depending on the density of your canvas for smooth insertion without fraying the fiber.
• Cut lengths of 50 to 60 cm to prevent the wool from wearing out with repeated passes through the canvas.
• Combine moonlight blue with deeper shades — navy blue, petroleum blue — to create shadows that sculpt your composition.
• This wool is also suitable for cross stitching on fine canvas, where it forms a generous and dense stitch in a single pass.
• Test it on Brazilian embroidery: its volume and softness adapt to knotted stitches and reliefs.

Harmonize this delicate blue with the pearl grays or warm beiges of the Colbert DMC range for airy gradients. It also goes well with off-whites for a slightly pearly effect on light canvas.
