LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool has established itself as the essential ally of embroiderers and canvas makers. This 100% wool thread offers a warm texture and a high quality finish on embroidery canvas or petit point. The Tuile 7356 color, a warm terracotta shade with pink undertones, brings depth and luminosity to classic or contemporary compositions.

French manufacturing guaranteed: this 8 meter skein in 100% wool benefits from DMC's historic know-how, recognizable by its emblematic packaging. The fiber offers excellent color retention and a pleasant touch which makes needlework fluid and pleasant. The regular diameter allows uniform tension on all points.

The Tuile 7356 color is particularly suitable for classic projects: small stitches on rigid canvas, upholstery embroidery, reconstruction of heritage motifs. It naturally combines with beiges, warm grays and darker bricks to create timeless harmonies.

• Work with needles of 40 cm maximum to preserve the flexibility of the thread and prevent it from fraying.
• On a 10 or 12 point per centimeter canvas, this skein covers approximately 4 to 5 square meters depending on the density of the points.
• For a uniform finish, even out the thread before threading it: guide it delicately between thumb and index finger along its entire length.
• Wool can be cleaned with warm, soapy water; avoid machine washing and bleach which alter the fiber.
• Perfect the gradients by layering Tuile 7356 with a lighter tone (beige, linen) or a deeper shade (rust, chocolate).

Pair this wool with Colbert with Bohin or Prym tapestry needles, especially numbers 18 to 20 depending on the thickness of your canvas. A little French stitch gains in regularity with this structured and easy-to-control fiber.
