LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in moss green 7379 has established itself as the essential ally for embroiderers looking for a noble material that is easy to work with. This thick, even thread, made from 100% wool, glides fluidly through canvas and structured embroidery canvases, providing generous coverage in a single pass.

Made in France, this wool has a 100% wool composition which guarantees flexibility and elasticity. The 8 meter skein is more than enough for a medium-sized pattern or to create subtle gradients by superimposing several passages. Moss green 7379 expresses itself particularly well on white or ecru canvas, where it displays all its depth.

• Compose entire backgrounds in three or four passes for a light, stitched texture that does not overload the canvas.
• Combine moss green 7379 with shades of pearl gray or taupe to create natural and calming landscapes.
• Work in edge stitch or Beauvais stitch: the wool follows the contours without a hitch.
• Prefer tapestry needles size 24 or 26 for smooth and effortless progress.
• Clean your items with lukewarm water and mild soap, then leave to dry flat: the wool will regain its natural loft.

Combine this warm shade with finer cotton or silk threads for mixed embroidery that plays on material contrasts. Off-whites and ecrus enhance the forest character of this green.
