LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

To enhance your tapestry and canvas works, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in sage green color 7404 offers a soothing and timeless shade. This medium intensity green, slightly grayed, creates harmonious backgrounds and blends elegantly with natural shades and deep blues. Spun in France, this wool embodies French textile know-how.

Composition 100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein is worked with a tapestry needle on canvas with a density of 10 to 14 points per centimeter. The supple, hand-soft fiber facilitates consistent stitching, while the lack of excessive twisting lets the yarn breathe over rows. Colbert wool can be dry cleaned or washed very gently in cold water, never in the washing machine.

• Thread a No. 18 or 20 tapestry needle with a full strand for dense cross stitches on medium canvas.
• Break up your needles into lengths of 40 to 50 cm to avoid fraying and premature wear of the fiber.
• Use sage green 7404 for solid backgrounds, light shadows or gradients towards beige and pearl gray.
• Test your shade on a remainder of the canvas before starting the work, as the shade may vary slightly depending on the lighting and the type of stitch.
• Combine with off-whites or ivories for a chic guest room effect, or with powder pinks for a romantic touch.

Combine this wool with Bohin or Prym tapestry needles, Aïda or Zweigart canvases of the same density, and water-soluble markers to transfer your designs without risk. Colbert wool goes perfectly with pearls or crewel wools to create varied textures on the same work.
