LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For a tapestry with regular stitches and vibrant colors, Colbert 486 DMC brown 7360 wool offers impeccable hold on embroidery canvas. This 4-strand carded wool, made from 100% wool, can be worked whole or separated depending on the desired effect: keep the 4 strands together for a dense solid color, or separate them for fine details and subtle gradients.

Technical characteristics: 8 meter skein in 100% pure wool, made in France. The brown color 7360 is a rich and deep shade, perfect for backgrounds, contours or shaded gradients. This wool is dry cleanable and cannot be washed with water: it thus retains its suppleness and its original shine after each work.

• Separate two strands for fine stitches and small details in your design.
• Work with needles of 40 centimeters maximum to prevent the fiber from fluffing during embroidery.
• Combine this brown with golden ochres and terracotta reds for a warm autumnal gradient.
• Use all 4 strands to quickly cover large surfaces and obtain a uniform texture.
• Test your shade on a white canvas before committing to your main piece.

This Colbert wool combines perfectly with other colors in the DMC range to create subtle embroidered paintings. Combine it with pearl grays or natural beiges for a remarkable effect of volume and depth on a cushion or small frame.
