LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas and tapestry projects, Colbert DMC wool offers a robust structure and incomparable color rendering. This 486 tapestry wool, available in blueberry blue 7308, has a deep and nuanced shade, ideal for creating plain backgrounds or subtle gradients on embroidery canvas.

Composition and characteristics : 100% virgin wool, spun and dyed in France according to DMC know-how. The 8 m skein offers the length necessary to cover generous surfaces without too many seams. Its regular thickness guarantees a homogeneous result, whether it is worked with counted cross stitch, satin stitch or free filling.

Blueberry blue 7308 stands out for its velvety depth, between navy blue and discreet purple. This shade naturally combines with gray blues, ivories and warm earths to create serene and sophisticated harmonies.

• On a regular canvas, test your tension by starting at an angle: Colbert wool accepts tight stitches without settling.
• To avoid creases, keep the skein slightly taut and work in complete strands, never separated.
• At the end of the thread, slide the needle under the previous stitches on the wrong side rather than knotting: this finish reinforces durability.
• Combine this blueberry blue with dark greens or taupe grays for a forest or geometric pattern.
• For small details, reduce the tension and work with half the thickness, passing it through the needle twice.

Complete your palette with other Colbert DMC colors to create a harmonious range, or combine this wool with Mouliné embroidery thread for clean contours and delicate shading on the same canvas.
