LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for embroiderers working on canvas or aida fabric. This 100% virgin wool yarn offers a generous thickness which quickly covers the stitches, reducing production time while creating beautifully regular stitches. The Cerise 7375 color, a deep red with slightly purplish reflections, brings warmth and presence to floral patterns as well as geometric compositions.

Composition and dimensions: Pure wool yarn, non-divisible, packaged in 8 meter skeins. This length is enough to cover medium-sized areas without the risk of excessive linting. Colbert wool can be cleaned in cold water with a delicate soap — never in the washing machine or in hot water. Made in France, it guarantees a stable color and solidity proven over the years.

• Work with a size 18 to 20 tapestry needle to effortlessly pass through the densest stitches.
• Use needles of 50 to 60 centimeters to prevent the wool from becoming loose during stitching.
• Test the color on a small square of canvas before starting a large project: the wool may react slightly differently than on screen.
• Combine Cerise 7375 with pearl gray or navy blue to create striking floral gradients.
• This wool is suitable for both pointed and regular canvases: simply adapt the size of your needle.

Combine this thread with medium-sized cotton or linen canvases, special Bohin or Prym tapestry needles, and embroidery frames to keep your work taut while working. The richness of Cerise 7375 is fully revealed on light backgrounds which bring out the depth of the shade.
