LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

A true ally of canvas and tapestry, this Colbert 486 wool offers an ideal structure for covering regular canvases without excessive effort. The navy blue color 7318 reveals a deep and sustained shade, perfect for creating contrast or serving as a neutral base for the most varied compositions.

Made of 100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein benefits from French manufacturing which guarantees regular fineness of strands and exceptional color fastness. Colbert wool is distinguished by its ability to cover densely without excessive thickness, allowing a subtle gradation of tones. Work it with tapestry needle number 18 to 20 depending on the thickness you are looking for.

• Combine several strands for compact solids or reduce them for nuanced gradients and fine details.
• This navy blue naturally structures a composition: try it in cross stitch alternating with pearl grays or creams for an elegant finish.
• Maintenance is done with lukewarm water and mild soap, without vigorous spinning, to preserve the flexibility of the fibers.
• Ideal for stapled canvases or Aida 18, this wool quickly covers small surfaces and pointillist patterns.
• Combine it with lighter wools from the same Colbert range to create harmonious bluish shades.

To enhance this navy blue 7318, consider pairing it with neutral wools – mouse gray, ecru, black – or with other blues of different shades for a sophisticated marine composition. Colbert wool also matches DMC embroidery threads for finer details in solid or backstitch.
