LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas and canvas embroidery projects, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool offers dense and even coverage. Fig tree green 7367, this subtle color evokes autumn foliage: a deep green with slightly powdery nuances that fits just as well into a geometric pattern as into a landscape or portrait. The 8 meter ball of 100% virgin wool is worked with a canvas needle no. 18 to 20, depending on the desired thickness.

This French wool is distinguished by its 100% wool composition and its Made in France manufacturing. Its regular thickness guarantees a uniform result on Aida or cheesecloth, and its gentle twist prevents breakage when stitching. The 8 meter skein covers approximately 30 to 40 cm² depending on the density of your stitch.

• Work with needles of 40 to 50 cm to preserve the flexibility and shine of the fiber.
• Combine fig green 7367 with ochres, warm browns or beiges for a natural and soothing composition.
• On penelope canvas (double weft), divide the wool into two strands for fine details, keep four strands for flat areas.
• Lightly dampen your work at the end of embroidery to even out the tension and revive the colors.
• Care: wash in lukewarm water with mild soap, then dry flat away from direct heat sources.

Complete your palette with other shades from the Colbert range: slate grays, sage greens or duck blues blend naturally with fig green to create subtle gradients. Do not hesitate to combine this wool with cotton or metallic thread to add material and relief to your canvas creations.
