LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in oak moss green 7417 is the essential ally for embroiderers who work on canvas or embroidery canvas. This subtle color, between gray-green and natural khaki, brings a soft depth to the works without creating an aggressive contrast. Perfect for cross stitching on canvas, knotted stitches and solid fillings, this 8 meter skein of 100% virgin wool is easy to handle.

100% pure wool made in France , Colbert DMC offers remarkable resistance to repeated washing and lasting color fastness over time. Its regular thickness and twisted structure allow easy threading with a tapestry needle. Each strand separates without lint, offering a fineness of work appreciated even on low-count canvases.

• Use this wool for complete cross stitches on Penelope canvas or cheesecloth, combining several strands according to the desired density.
• Moss green combines elegantly with pearl gray, ivory or light linen tones to create natural gradients.
• Test this color in stem stitch or lockstitch to structure the contours of a floral or geometric pattern.
• Work with No. 18 or No. 20 needles depending on the fabric: these numbers make threading easier without forcing the fiber.
• Clean your finished work with warm soapy water, rubbing gently: French wool resists this delicate treatment perfectly.

Combine this skein with other colors from the Colbert DMC range to enrich your palette: nuanced grays, petrol blues and natural browns beautifully complement this moss green. For large solid areas, provide several skeins of the same color 7417 to guarantee color homogeneity and ensure the continuity of your work without color break.
