LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas embroidery and tapestry projects. This thick and structured yarn, dyed in lime 7340, brings luminosity to projects without overloading the stitches. Each skein offers 8 meters of ready-to-use thread, perfect for flat areas or details on a medium-sized canvas.

Made from 100% virgin wool , this wool benefits from traditional French manufacturing by DMC. Colbert thread does not separate into strands: it is worked whole, which guarantees regular coverage and a homogeneous result on canvas or canvas. Its standard thickness is suitable for No. 20 to 22 embroidery needles and medium count canvas (12 to 14 stitches per inch).

Lime 7340 particularly lights up on neutral backgrounds or ecru canvases. This tangy color, naturally vibrant, is not afraid of washing and retains its shine over the years.

• Work in regular cross stitches on a unified canvas for a textured and three-dimensional finish.
• Combine it with complementary colors like pearl gray or ecru to create subtle gradients.
• Use it for shading: go from lime green to a pale yellow to sculpt volumes on petals or foliage.
• Test it with a flat satin stitch to cover large areas without darning.
• Compose clean geometric patterns thanks to its rigid and predictable structure.

This wool goes perfectly with linen fabrics or high quality Aida canvases. Combine it with darker shades of green for a natural gradient, or pair it with bright colors for contemporary compositions. Its sturdy wire easily supports ambitious projects and touch-ups.
