LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers everything you need to bring your canvas works to life with a noble and easy-to-work material. This 100% wool thread comes in an 8 meter skein, designed for embroiderers looking for recognized reliability and a consistent color palette.

The color Fer 7339 offers a deep gray-blue shade, ideal for backgrounds or structuring details on embroidery canvas. combed wool works without fluffing, even on long needles. Its even thickness ensures even coverage of the canvas, whatever your stitch — half stitch, large stitch or cross stitch on canvas. This wool can be cleaned in cold water only : a detail to note from the start to preserve the shine and elasticity of the strands after production.

Made in France by DMC, this 8 meter skein easily covers a medium-sized surface, depending on your tension and your chosen stitch.

• Work with a tapestry needle adapted to the thickness of the thread to avoid friction and preserve the wool.
• Use short needles, 30 to 40 cm, so that the thread does not felt during stitching.
• On canvas with 10 threads per centimeter, this Iron 7339 structures shadows or solid areas without crushing the texture.
• Combine it with lighter shades — ivories, creams, greige — to create subtle gradients.
• Never wash in hot water or tumble dry: cold water and air drying maintain the original appearance.

This wool naturally combines with other Colbert DMC shades to create harmonious palettes. If you are working in cross stitch on embroidery canvas, combine it with lighter wools or contrasting threads so that the grey-blue Fer 7339 fully plays its role of intermediate value.
