LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For a canvas that gains in density and relief, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool stands out as the ally of demanding embroiderers. Pond green 7320, this deep and nuanced shade brings a remarkable presence on canvas, whether aida or cheesecloth. The pure wool fiber offers incomparable flexibility and a natural shine that makes the light dance on each point.

100% wool material — guaranteeing durability and exceptional hold over time. The 8 meter skein generously covers an average area in tight cross stitch or a larger area in thrown stitch. French manufacturing : each yarn is produced and packaged according to rigorous French standards. The fineness of the wire (486) allows you to work in a single branch for details or grouped together for dense areas.

Available in a single skein of superior quality, this color naturally combines with tones of ecru, beige and taupe linen for works with earthy harmonies, or with petrol blues and pearl grays for marine compositions.

• Separate the thread into two strands for fine contours and precision details on aida canvas.
• Work with size 22 to 24 needles for a clear penetration into the canvas without pulling on the stitches.
• Use needles of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fraying during stitching.
• Combine this green with an ivory white to create gradients of foliage or mineral backgrounds.
• Try chain stitch in pond green to outline the borders of a floral or geometric pattern.

Combine this tapestry wool with finer embroidery threads (Mouliné Spécial or Lumières) to create contrasts in thickness on the same work. A must-have in the upholsterers' canvas box.
