• Work with needles of 40 to 50 cm to limit wear of the thread on the wool and maintain its shine.
• Separate the thread into two or three strands if you want fine lines or delicate details on low-count canvas.
• Prefer dry cleaning or delicate washing in lukewarm water without spinning to preserve the fiber.
• Ideal for small, densely filled surfaces or for backgrounds that require strength.
• Combine it with DMC metallic threads for a luxury effect or with lighter blues to create a subtle monochrome.

This wool pairs admirably with Zweigart canvas or dyed linen fabrics for traditional embroidery works. Complete your palette with pearl grays, sky blues or olive greens for a harmonious and rich color palette.
