LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas and tapestry projects, Colbert 486 wool offers a rich texture and exceptional coverage. Ivy Green 7347 has a deep hue, evoking dense, structured foliage, perfect for creating subtle backgrounds or botanical details on embroidery canvas.

This 100% virgin wool is worked with the tapestry needle on small or large mesh canvas depending on your technique. The 8 meter skein offers a generous length to cover large areas without frequent interruption. Made in France , it benefits from recognized textile know-how and stable dyeing over time.

Available in a single color per skein, Colbert wool comes in a rich palette: combine Ivy Green 7347 with pearl gray or deep blue tones to create natural gradients on your projects.

• Cut lengths of 40 to 50 cm to avoid premature felting of the thread during work.
• Use a tapestry needle suitable for the canvas: size 18 to 20 for regular canvases.
• Test the color on a discreet corner of your canvas before treating large surfaces: the wool may darken slightly at the first wash.
• For dense areas, work in tight chain stitches which highlight the natural shine of the fiber.
• Combine with Pénélope or Aida canvas for a classic tapestry rendering, or on plastic canvas for more contemporary creations.

This wool blends harmoniously with the other shades in the Colbert range: enrich your palette with warm complements or shades of gray to structure your floral or geometric compositions.
