LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool is distinguished by its fineness and softness, ideal for embroidery on canvas, cross stitch on embroidery canvas or small traditional embroidery works. This Grass Green 7342 color provides a natural and soothing shade, perfect for botanical motifs, foliage or landscape perspectives. The 8 meter skein in 100% wool offers a noble material that is easy to work with, with a characteristic velvety finish.

Composition and technical specifications: this wool is 100% virgin wool, made in France according to DMC know-how. Its regular thickness of 2 to 3 millimeters allows uniform coverage of the canvas without the need to separate the strands, unlike classic embroidery threads. It can be dry cleaned to preserve its structure and shine. This wool tolerates delicate ironing well and retains its color over time.

Directions for use and combinations:

• Work with specialized needles for tapestry (wool needle), which better accept the diameter of the wool without crushing it.
• On a 12-thread canvas, this wool covers each stitch with a pleasant density, without excess; on a thinner canvas, adjust your tension.
• For a natural gradient, combine this grass green with strands of Lime Green or Petrol Blue for subtle shading effects.
• Limit your needles to 30 to 40 centimeters to avoid premature wear of the fiber and preserve the shine.
• Ideal for pencil cases, small cushions, embroidered jewelry or reinforced bookmarks.

Combine this wool with professional quality canvas (Zweigart or Penelope) and specialized fine needles to obtain a smooth and durable work. Grass Green 7342 blends elegantly with neutrals (ecru, pearl gray) and complementary greens to create harmonious and timeless compositions.
