LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry projects in petit point or canvas, this Colbert 486 wool offers the finesse and regularity that embroiderers demand. Root Brown 7415 is a warm, deep shade, perfect for structuring a pattern or creating subtle shadows without being heavy. Skein of 8 meters in 100% virgin wool, this wool unwinds easily and separates without pilling.

Composition and origin: 100% virgin wool, certified French manufacturing. Colbert wool is characterized by its color fastness and softness to the touch. It is suitable for low to medium count canvases and is worked with a tapestry needle on regular or pre-printed canvas. A thread that does not felt when handled, even on long needles.

The root brown color 7415 naturally combines with ochres, brick reds and khaki greens for compositions inspired by nature or timeless geometric patterns.

• Let your work rest for a few hours under a damp cloth to regain the hold of the wool after cleaning.
• Work with needles of 40 to 50 cm to preserve the flexibility of the thread and avoid premature wear.
• Allow approximately 8 to 10 meters to cover an area of 10 x 10 cm in a small tight stitch.
• Combine Colbert wool with paler or, conversely, darker tones of the same brown to play with shades and give relief to your flat areas.
• Use an embroidery hoop or loom to maintain the regular tension of your canvas and prevent deformation.

To combine with other shades from the Colbert range — beiges, pearl grays, deep blues — to create timeless harmonies. This wool made in France is a guarantee of quality and respect for exceptional textile know-how.
