LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in ash green 7384 has established itself as the essential ally of the canvas embroiderer. This sober and nuanced color, between gray and green, soothes tapestry compositions without ever going unnoticed. The 8 meter skein allows you to widely cover a background area or to structure the contours of a medium-sized work.

Made from 100% virgin wool , this wool offers a dense and regular texture, ideal for cross-stitch work, half-stitch or large stitch on canvas. Made in France , it benefits from DMC know-how and the excellence of French workshops. Its natural thickness allows canvases of 10 to 14 points to be covered without the need to split the strands.

• Work ash green 7384 in solid colors to create soothing backgrounds that highlight the brighter colors in the foreground.
• Separate the strands slightly if you want to refine the rendering on a specific detail or vary the thickness of your line.
• Combine this gray green with natural shades — beige, taupe, pearl gray — to create landscapes or subtle ornaments.
• Use the full skein on the same pattern to create a homogeneous surface without variation in color.
• Protect your finished work by dry cleaning it or using a very mild shampoo: virgin wool requires special attention when washing.

Ash green 7384 blends naturally with the pearl grays, off-whites and warm ochres of the Colbert palette. It is the perfect color to weave a rustic or refined harmony, depending on the context of your tapestry.
