LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For a tapestry in forest tones or a canvas that breathes nature, the Vert du Tyrol 7386 color offers a subtle, slightly grayed depth of green, which enriches the gradients without dominating. This DMC Colbert tapestry wool has established itself as the reference thread for cross stitch on embroidery canvas and petit point: its regular structure and constant thickness make counting stitches easier.

100% wool , made in France , this 8 m ball in Colbert 486 can be worked on regular or Aïda canvas. Its natural fiber offers optimal hold in both solid and shaded areas, without pilling under tension. A yarn that does not lint, even after several passes through the same stitch.

Tyrol Green 7386 naturally combines with pearl grays for subtle foliage, warm browns for bark, or creamy whites for play of light. Also combine with shades of dark blue for botanical compositions or mountain landscapes.

• Place your canvas on a frame or drum to maintain uniform tension and preserve the regularity of your stitches.
• Cut lengths of 40 to 50 cm: they are enough to cover the pattern without fraying at the ends.
• Work in a single pass for dense surfaces, two passes for progressive shading.
• At the end of your work, lightly dampen the backing and leave to dry flat: the wool naturally returns to its shape.
• Combine it with tapestry needles No. 20 or 22, with a wide eye so as not to crush the fiber.

This DMC Colbert wool is suitable for both experienced embroiderers and seamstresses looking for a first experience with petit point. Its 8 m length amply covers a central motif or a declarative strip on a small to medium-sized work.
