LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for canvas and canvas embroidery projects. The color Bleu de France 7307, a deep and noble blue, adapts equally well to classic floral motifs and contemporary geometric compositions. Work with the assurance of a noble material, 100% wool, produced in France according to DMC's historic know-how.

Made of 100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein offers a rich texture and an incomparable luminous rendering on canvas. The fineness of the Colbert 486 thread allows precise and regular stitches, ideal for fine tapestries as well as larger works. French manufacturing guaranteeing consistent quality and stable dyeing through delicate washes.

• Use the full thread for generous flat areas, or separate it partially to adapt the density to the fine details of your composition.
• Combine several shades of blue from the DMC Colbert color chart to create subtle gradients and give depth to your work.
• On embroidery canvas with 10 or 12 points per centimeter, this thread covers harmoniously without creating excessive relief.
• Test your thread tension at the start of the project: a stitch that is too tight risks warping the canvas, a stitch that is too loose leaves the canvas visible.
• Store your skeins away from direct light to preserve the intensity of Bleu de France 7307 over several years.

Complete this wool with neutral shades of Colbert — pearl gray, ivory, black — to structure your compositions. Wool workers will also enjoy exploring the ranges of contrasting blues available at DMC to create delicate effects of light on your tapestries.
