LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

You will embroider your most beautiful canvases with this thick and structured DMC Colbert tapestry wool. The Green Grass color 7370 offers a natural, soft and slightly gray shade, perfect for creating subtle gradients or deep areas on embroidery canvas. This 8 m skein in 100% wool is worked with a tapestry needle on a regular embroidery canvas.

Colbert DMC wool is spun and dyed in France , a guarantee of quality and color consistency. Its generous thickness — equivalent to 4 strands of mouliné — allows you to quickly cover surfaces without having to make multiple passes. Made of 100% wool , it offers exceptional hold on the needles and does not warp when cleaning with cold water.

You have a complete palette of coordinated colors to go from one shade to another without a break in tone. Green locust 7370 pairs with neutral grays, lighter greens or earth tones for harmonious compositions.

• Thread your tapestry needle with a working length of 50 cm to prevent the wool from fraying or becoming loaded.
• Work with Beauvais stitch or school stitch on Penelope or Aïda canvas for a smooth and regular finish.
• Clean your work in cold water with a mild detergent, then leave to dry flat to maintain the shape of the canvas.
• Combine several shades of green to create a natural gradient imitating foliage or landscapes.
• This wool covers generously: 8 m is enough for a medium-sized pattern or a densely embroidered border.

Combine this grasshopper green 7370 with pearl gray or taupe tones for effects of shadow and depth, or with natural beige for a country look. The Colbert DMC range offers lighter greens — Imperial Green or Bottle Green — to play on the brightness of your compositions.
