LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your large canvas and cross-stitch embroidery projects. This 100% wool thread offers generous coverage and a particularly rich finish on embroidery canvas, ideal for large projects where the raw material must assert its presence.

Composition and origin: This pure wool yarn is made in France, a guarantee of quality and French textile know-how. The 8 meter skein in Tweed Green color 7361 offers a nuanced shade, a subtle green with a mixed effect which evokes the natural tones of Scottish tweed. This chromatic subtlety gives depth to the flat areas and makes the gradients particularly authentic.

• Work the skein into two or three strands depending on your canvas and the desired effect: the more strands, the denser and more opaque the coverage.
• This wool is perfectly suited to 10 to 14 point canvases, where it is fully expressed without the effort of excessive embroidery.
• Combine Tweed Green 7361 with light grays or creamy beiges to create soothing landscape harmonies, or with chestnut browns for a countryside effect.
• Clean your works in lukewarm water with a mild soap; DMC wool retains its shine and softness after repeated washing.
• Prefer to store it flat or wrapped around a spool to prevent the strands from fraying and becoming fragile.

Complete your palette with other DMC Colbert colors or combine this wool with cross stitch threads for mixed techniques: the contrast between the fine knit and the texture of the wool creates remarkable relief on small or medium-sized works.
