LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas and tapestry works, this Colbert DMC wool offers an ideal structure: a thick, divisible thread, which can be worked with ease on embroidery canvas. The Oyster 7321 color, a light gray with beige nuances, adapts to classic projects as well as contemporary creations. Guaranteed French manufacturing.

100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein is available in several thicknesses according to your needs. Thanks to its structure of four grouped strands, you can separate them to adjust the coverage of your canvas. The diameter of the wire remains constant, which ensures a regularity of stitch even after several works.

The Oyster 7321 color goes particularly well with neutral shades and pearl grays for subtle gradients. Compatible with embroidery canvases, Aida fabrics and medium count cross stitch fabrics.

• Separate the four strands to refine detail on fine canvas, or keep them grouped for thick, textured backgrounds.
• Lightly moisten the thread before threading it into the needle: it will slide better and will not lint.
• Combine Huître 7321 with off-whites and beiges to create a timeless harmony on a small canvas.
• On a 10 count canvas, a size 16 to 18 needle lets this thread pass through without forcing.
• Store away from direct light: wool takes less time to patina than cotton, but the color remains stable.

For a harmonious palette, combine Huître 7321 with the light grays and earthy tones of the Colbert range. Tapestry stitch, chain stitch or cross stitch take full advantage of the regular structure of this wool. Work with needles of 45 to 50 cm: the wool does not fray and is knitted with a fluid movement.
