LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For a generously knitted canvas or relief embroidery, DMC Colbert Tapestry Yarn 486 Spring Green 7341 offers quick and even coverage. This 100% virgin wool yarn, made in France, is characterized by its warm texture and its matte finish which will flatter the most delicate shades.

Material: 100% virgin wool. Length: 8 meters per skein. Size: Colbert 486, ideal for canvas needles no. 18 to 22. Origin: French manufacture. This yarn requires dry cleaning and can be stored without risk of moths with appropriate protection.

The Spring Green 7341 color captures the freshness of the first buds: a light and luminous green, slightly grey, which brings lightness to the works without turning neon. It naturally combines with beige, cream and ivory white tones to create soothing compositions.

• Work with needles of 40 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from fraying along the way.
• On Penelope 10 or 12 canvas, a single Colbert thread per pass of the needle is enough to cover the stitches.
• For cross stitching on embroidery canvas, combine this thread with a contrasting fine thread to create sharp details.
• Embroider in chain stitch or satin stitch to exploit all the softness of the wool.
• Preserve your finished work by protecting it from rodents: this natural wool is sensitive to them.

Combine this soft green with balls of DMC Perlé Cotton in Off-White or Pearl Gray to create subtle contrasts on a natural linen canvas. A test on white canvas will highlight the luminosity of this color without rival.
