LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Ideal for embroiderers looking for quality wool suitable for canvas and tapestry work, this DMC Colbert skein offers a rich and subtle shade. Undergrowth green 7327 is part of the deep green ranges, perfect for creating natural backgrounds or landscape elements on penelope canvas or regular cheesecloth.

Material and manufacturing : 100% virgin wool made in France, this tapestry wool has a regular thickness that is easily worked with a canvas needle. The 8 yard skein covers a generous area for small to medium sized designs. Its slightly tight twist guarantees good hold during embroidery.

This undergrowth green color 7327 blends naturally with beiges, warm grays and shades of brown to create forest backgrounds or botanical motifs. Also combine with blue-gray to obtain subtle gradients.

• Work with needles of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fraying at the end.
• Use a regular pin canvas (10 to 14 squares per 10 cm) to enhance the fineness of the thread.
• For large backgrounds, divide the space into zones and progress in horizontal or vertical lines to evenly distribute the tension.
• This wool accepts cold washing after blocking: gently immerse in water at 15-20°C with a very mild detergent, then leave to dry flat.
• Create shades by alternating this green with a lighter or darker color from the same family to sculpt the reliefs of the pattern.

Combine this Colbert wool with a size 18 or 20 canvas needle depending on your canvas density, and complete your palette with DMC silk threads or matching wools for sharp details that require more finesse.
