LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

A true ally of canvas and tapestry, this DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers a deep and warm shade in Dark Wood 7416. Worked on embroidery canvas or Penelope canvas, it structures the backgrounds and highlights the most delicate motifs. Its nuanced brown blends harmoniously with ocher, cream or gray tones for timeless compositions.

Composition 100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein guarantees regular coverage without lint. The Colbert wool passes easily through the eye of the needle and does not fear repeated passages on the same route. Made in France , it benefits from DMC know-how recognized for the fastness of the colors and the quality of the fiber. Each strand offers an even thickness, ideal for chain stitches, cross stitches or back stitches on small count canvas.

• Work with a No. 20 or 22 tapestry needle depending on the thickness of your canvas for an effortless finish
• Cut lengths of 40 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from fraying with repeated passes
• Test the color on a corner of your canvas: Dark Wood 7416 soothes the contrasts of multi-colored embroidery
• Combine this shade with several skeins to create a range of harmonious browns on your background works
• To clean your finished work, prefer cold pressing rather than washing: wool prefers dry care

Complete this shade with pearl gray, natural beige or ecru white threads to create gradients subtle. On a monochrome or two-tone canvas, Dark Wood 7416 becomes the graphic foundation of a sober and timeless composition. This wool is perfect for embroiderers looking for a neutral shade, rich without being dark, capable of interacting with old gold or patinated silver.
