LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Prairie Green color 7344 is the essential ally for your canvas and embroidery works on canvas. This 8m thread in 100% virgin wool offers a rich texture and perfect density for structured stitches, whether small or large stitches. Made in France, it benefits from DMC's recognized textile know-how.

Colbert wool is worked on embroidery canvas — it does not separate into strands, unlike classic embroidery threads. Each skein is taut and regular, which guarantees uniformity of stitch over the entire surface of your work. 100% virgin wool , it offers warmth and chromatic depth that only natural fibers provide. The Prairie Green 7344 color, seen in the image, displays a bright and balanced green, neither too yellow nor too blue, ideal for natural backgrounds, foliage or pastoral motifs.

Available in a single supply of 8m per skein, this yardage comfortably covers a medium sized design on standard Penelope canvas. For large surfaces, provide several skeins of the same color to maintain a uniform color.

• Thread your needle with a length of 40 to 50 cm of wool to avoid premature wear and maintain the softness of the thread.
• Pin your stitches by pulling gently, without forcing: wool does not tolerate rough handling and the thread may split.
• Combine this green with terracotta, ocher or gray-beige shades for a warm and natural look.
• Test your stitch on an identical scrap of canvas before embroidering on your main work, to check the density and visual effect.
• Embroider by homogeneous area rather than by line, to maintain regular tension and avoid color shifts.

Pair this meadow green with Colbert DMC wools in complementary tones: an off-white for touches of light, a chocolate brown for the shadows, or a sky blue for a delicate contrast. Tapestry wool is ideal for both traditional embroidery and interior decoration works, such as cushions or wall hangings.
