LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas projects, Colbert 486 DMC wool is the essential ally. This thick and structured thread, dyed in Mediterranean Blue 7316, offers remarkable chromatic depth which can be worked in flat areas or in gradients on embroidery canvas or coarse mesh canvas.

100% virgin wool produced in France, this 8 meter skein is characterized by its exceptional hold and its resistance to wear. Intended for large section crochet or tapestry needle, it generously covers work surfaces. Bleu Méditerranée 7316 displays a rich tone, neither too light nor too saturated, capable of structuring a pattern without overwhelming it.

Three characteristics make this wool a safe choice: its practical format, its authentic composition without synthetic fibers, and its French origin guaranteeing stable quality.

• Combined with pearl grays or slate blues to create subtle shades in cross stitch or crochet.
• Perfect for the thick borders of a canvas: its diameter structures the line without creating unsightly relief.
• To lay on linen embroidery canvas: 8 meters are enough for a central pattern, provided you do not fragment the thread into strands.
• Ideal for knitting baby or children's blanket squares in textured stitch: the wool does not slide and stays in place under the fingers.
• Combine with warm shades – ocher, terracotta, chamois – for a suggestive Mediterranean gradient.

To preserve the shine of Bleu Méditerranée 7316, clean your finished work in lukewarm water with a mild wool soap. Avoid vigorous wringing and prefer drying flat. This wool pairs elegantly with Penelope canvases or fine embroidery linens, as well as with lighter DMC embroidery threads for play on material contrasts.
