LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and cross stitch projects on aida or cheesecloth. This robust 100% wool thread offers generous coverage and a finish that is both shiny and soft, ideal for large-scale embroideries that require material and hold.

The color touareg blue 7317 captures this deep and slightly desaturated blue hue, which fits perfectly into marine, ethnic or bohemian ranges. This wool is made in France , a guarantee of quality and know-how. Each skein contains 8 meters of 100% pure wool yarn, a generous length for dense sections or small repeating designs.

Unlike classic embroidery thread, Colbert 486 does not separate into strands: it is used as is, which simplifies the work and speeds up execution. Its lightweight twisted structure makes it easy to thread and comfortable to pass through the needle, even on long embroidery sessions.

• Work on Aida 14 or 12 thread embroidery cheesecloth: a No. 20 or 22 needle is sufficient for neat and regular work.
• This wool blends beautifully with pearl grays or off-whites to create subtle gradients.
• For large areas, two superimposed passes offer impeccable coverage without excessive thickness.
• Prefer dry cleaning or delicate washing in lukewarm water with a specialized wool soap.
• Keep your skeins away from direct light to preserve the intensity of the Tuareg blue.

Combine this shade with other shades from the Colbert range to create geometric patterns or colorful panels, or prefer it alone for a monochrome work with subtle light effects. Its French origin makes it a responsible choice for embroiderers looking for lasting quality.
