LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry projects on canvas or knotted stitch embroidery, this Colbert 486 wool offers incomparable strength and shine. Blue Embruns 7313 captures the calming hue of a lightly veiled North Sea, a subtle blue-grey that works equally well with seascapes and delicate floral arrangements. Made in France, this ball stands out for its textile quality and its artisanal heritage.

100% pure wool worked in regular strands of 8 meters , this tapestry skein can be used on embroidery canvas or for needlepoint. The regular diameter allows for homogeneous weaving without unwanted fraying. Made in France , it benefits from DMC know-how recognized for almost two centuries. This wool supports the fine tapestry needle perfectly and stays attached to tight stitches.

Bluish Embruns 7313 comes naturally as an accompaniment to other marine shades — turquoise or pearl gray — to create subtle gradients. Ideal for covering medium areas in a single color or for precise contours of a complex pattern.

• Work with needle lengths of 30 to 40 cm maximum to preserve the shine of the fiber.
• Always test your stitch on a scrap of canvas before tackling the final piece, because tapestry wool compresses differently depending on the tension of the quill.
• This gray blue is suitable for landscape backgrounds or delimited flat areas of a symmetrical composition.
• Combine it with a canvas of 14 or 18 points per inch depending on the desired effect: finer for details, more airy for large surfaces.
• For finishes, wet blocking and flat drying preserve the shape and appearance of your finished work.

To be combined with a size 18 or 20 tapestry needle and a quality canvas (linen or reinforced cotton). Pearl grays and lavender blues naturally complement Embruns bleues 7313 for harmonious compositions. DMC Colbert also goes well with finer embroidery threads for added detail or shading.
