LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas projects, DMC Colbert 486 Tapestry Wool offers a subtle and timeless shade. The Green Ash color 7392 captures this calming shade between gray and green, perfect for backgrounds, gradients or delicate designs on embroidery canvas.

This 100% wool wool is worked with needles adapted to the canvas and allows regular and tight stitches. The 8 meter skein covers an average surface area without interruption. Made in France , it benefits from DMC's historic mastery in dyeing and textile quality, guaranteeing a stable color and soft wool in the work.

Laine Colbert is distinguished by its compact structure: unlike separable embroidery threads, it does not divide into strands and appears as a single thread of good thickness. This makes it the ideal choice for quickly filling surfaces or creating textured dots without wasting time in separation.

• Adapt your needle to the canvas and the number of threads: a medium-sized tapestry needle is enough to work effortlessly.
• Work in needles of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fluffing at the ends.
• Combine Cendre verte 7392 with darker or lighter shades from the Colbert range to create subtle gradients on your patterns.
• Use this wool for tapestry backgrounds, borders and architectural elements of a design.
• Clean your finished works in lukewarm water with a mild soap, then leave to dry flat to preserve the structure of the stitches.

This wool goes naturally with DMC Mouliné Spécial embroidery threads for clean contours or with DMC satin ribbons for delicate finishes. It is suitable for traditional tapestries as well as modern canvases, petit point projects or fine crochet.
