LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers a dense and regular texture, perfect for canvas works and embroidery projects on canvas. The White Pepper color 7390 displays a neutral and timeless shade, between light gray and sandy beige, which harmonizes with a wide palette of complementary colors. This 8 m skein in 100% pure wool helps you create precise and detailed patterns.

Made in France of quality, this tapestry wool is easy to work on medium density embroidery canvas. Natural fibers offer exceptional strength and remarkable durability over time. Each strand maintains a uniform thickness, guaranteeing regular and harmonious stitches, whether it is damask embroidery, a thrown stitch or a shading gradient.

• Separate the strands according to the size of your canvas: one, two or three strands for fine canvases, all for looser and textured works.
• Use short needle lengths of 30 to 40 cm to avoid premature wear of the fibers and maintain the natural shine of the wool.
• Take inspiration from monochrome compositions by playing with neutral shades and appliqués: combine Poivre blanc 7390 with pearl grays or ecrus for a refined harmony.
• Clean your items in cold water, without harsh soap, then leave to dry flat to preserve the structure of the stitches.
• Create delicate floral or geometric patterns on small canvas, ideal for filling cushions or napkin rings.

Combine this wool with size 20 or 22 tapestry needles depending on the thickness of your canvas, and complete your palette with stronger shades to create contrast. DMC Colbert wools work wonderfully with other neutral colors or deeper shades to structure your composition.
