LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool, seaweed green color 7329, is your ally for all canvas and chain stitch embroidery projects. This thread offers a richness of deep hue, a nuanced green that evokes marine algae, perfect for creating subtle backgrounds or botanical patterns on regular canvas. Work with a medium-gauge tapestry needle for a clean, even finish.

100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein guarantees sufficient length to cover an average surface in traditional embroidery. French manufacturing : each thread is produced with the recognized know-how of the DMC workshops. The wool is worked without separation of strands - it is a single and complete yarn - which simplifies execution and ensures homogeneous coverage on your canvas.

• On a 10-point Penelope canvas, this length easily covers a 10 × 15 cm pattern in dense embroidery.
• Combine this seaweed green with ochres and beiges for a natural gradient in Arts & Crafts or Art Nouveau.
• Use a straight needle rather than a curved needle to penetrate the stitches without forcing.
• Wash your finished works in lukewarm water with a mild soap, then dry flat to preserve the shine of the wool.
• Also ideal as a satin stitch for embroidering the letters of a monogram or the outlines of a flower on linen.

Complete your palette with other colors from the Colbert range — pearl grays, navy blues and olive greens combine wonderfully with this seaweed green to build subtle and elegant shades on your canvases.
