LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is your ally for all your canvas and art embroidery projects. This wool dyed in shade green 7408, a deep green with dark reflections, brings richness and dimension to your works. Work on embroidery canvas or canvas with this noble fiber which offers regular coverage and incomparable softness.

100% pure wool made in France , this 8 meter skein combines finesse and resistance. The green ombre shade 7408 comes naturally, moving from lighter shades to more intense tones within the same stitch or the same row - a valuable asset for creating subtle gradients without multiplying skeins. This thick wool is ideal for medium to large weft canvases and embroidery that requires relief.

• Divide the thread into two or three strands to adapt the cover to your canvas: thinner for a tight canvas, thicker for an airy work.
• Work with needles of 40 cm maximum to avoid fraying and preserve the shine of the fiber.
• Use green shade 7408 for forest backgrounds, dense foliage, or outlines that require depth.
• Limit your passes to three or four to avoid creating visible wear on heavily worked areas.
• This wool goes beautifully with cream or ecru tones for contrasts, or with deep blues for natural ambiances.

Pair this DMC Colbert wool with tapestry needles sizes 18 to 22, depending on the thickness of your canvas. Complementary shades — pearl gray, natural beige, deep black — will amplify the volume effect that this green shadow brings to your compositions.
