LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers a dense and regular texture, ideal for canvas works and traditional tapestry. This 100% wool thread stands out for its strength and its ability to create perfectly covered surfaces on embroidery canvas. The pastel blue color 7302 brings a luminous softness to projects, without boldness or visual aggressiveness.

Technical characteristics : 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool , French manufacturing. The regular fineness of the thread allows you to work on medium to fine count canvases without bulk. Made in France , this product reflects French textile know-how recognized for several decades.

Pastel blue 7302 goes particularly well with neutral tones — beige, pearl gray, off-white — for soothing compositions. Its complementary variations allow you to create subtle gradients or soft contrasts according to your creative palette.

• Prefer short needle lengths of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fraying at the ends.
• Work tight stitch by stitch to benefit from optimal coverage of the thread on the canvas.
• Combine it with other Colbert colors to create harmonious geometric or floral patterns.
• Check the tension of your needle: a thread that is too tight risks warping the canvas, too loose it remains transparent.
• Always test your color mixture on a scrap canvas before applying it to the entire project.

Complete your canvas palette with matching threads in pearl gray or pure white to structure backgrounds, or pair this pastel blue with a tinted watercolor pencil for delicate shades on embroidered designs. A size 20 or 22 tapestry needle works well with this thickness of thread.
