LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers incomparable density and regularity for your canvas and embroidery work on canvas. This 8 meter thread in fjord blue 7304 captures the deep nuances of an arctic sky, ideal for creating subtle gradients or intense flat areas depending on the density of your work.

100% wool composition guaranteeing exceptional hold over time and natural flexibility. Made in France , this wool combines traditional know-how and recognized textile quality. The skein provides a length of 8 meters, sufficient to cover the details of a medium-sized pattern or to start larger areas on coarse canvas.

Fjord blue 7304 is distinguished by its slightly gray depth, close to the oceanic shades of the North. This shade plays beautifully with pearl grays and off-whites, but it also gains character when paired with warm tones like ochres or muted reds.

• Work with a 22 or 24 gauge embroidery needle for a consistent finish on standard embroidery canvas.
• Separate the thread into two or three strands depending on the desired fineness and density of your canvas.
• On a thin canvas, double or triple the passages to obtain complete coverage without leaving the weft visible.
• Dry cleaning recommended to preserve the shine and flexibility of the fiber.
• Combine this blue with neutral shades for a timeless harmony, or with greens for a natural and marine effect.

Complete your work with other shades from the Colbert range to create subtle gradients: white, grays and light blues in particular create fluid transitions. The Bohin tapestry needle and a 40 cm needle maximize your comfort and the quality of your stitch.
