LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

To embroider a work of character on canvas, Colbert 486 wool offers a rich texture and remarkable depth of color. Undergrowth Green 7385 captures the dark, mysterious nuances of fall foliage, ideal for tapestry and cross-stitch projects on embroidery canvas.

This 8 meter skein in 100% wool is worked with a needle appropriate for the chosen canvas. French manufacturing guarantees consistent spinning quality and a stable color when washing. Colbert is characterized by its natural luster and its ability to cover canvases without letting the frame show through.

The Green Undergrowth 7385 color combines with ochres, warm browns and anthracite grays to create forest gradients or sober backgrounds that highlight lighter patterns.

• Divide the skein into strands and work with a single thickness according to the count of your canvas: the denser the canvas, the fewer strands you will use at a time.
• This wool is suitable for small detailed patterns as well as large areas: its compact structure prevents fraying.
• For dark shades like this deep green, a regular cross stitch highlights the texture better than a long stitch would.
• Combine this color with pastel tones or off-whites for an elegant and timeless contrast on a cushion or frame.
• Test on a small piece of canvas before starting your work: the reaction of the wool varies slightly from one canvas to another.

Complete your palette with threads from the same range in complementary shades: lighter greens to create relief, browns or grays for shadows. Colbert wool is also easily combined with embroidery threads for delicate finishes and details.
