LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool has established itself as the essential ally of embroiderers and canvas creators. Dyed in Oak 7423, this wool offers a warm and natural tone, perfect for structuring a background or creating subtle gradients on embroidery canvas. Work this 8 m skein on fine or medium canvas, where its flexibility and calm shine reveal each stitch without weighing it down.

Made from 100% pure wool , this tapestry wool benefits from French manufacturing which guarantees uniform dyeing quality and recognized color fastness. DMC Colbert is easily worked with a No. 18 or 20 tapestry needle, depending on the density of your canvas. The yarn does not lint and rarely separates during work, even after several gentle washes. An 8 m skein allows you to cover a generous surface area: allow approximately 15 to 20 cm² for this length, depending on your stitch technique.

• Embroider cross stitch, stem stitch or satin stitch on regular canvas to obtain clean and regular finishes.
• Use this shade in combination with pearl grays or beiges for soothing shades in your canvas projects.
• Test mixed stitches by superimposing two strands of Oak 7423 with a lighter shade to create relief and depth.
• Practice the long and loose stitch (long stitch) on coarse grain canvas for textured and modern surfaces.
• Clean your finished works with lukewarm water and mild soap; pure wool regains its volume and luster after flat drying.

To amplify the impact of this neutral shade, combine it with Mouliné DMC threads in the same color range, or with fine silk ribbons in earth tones. It also goes wonderfully with strands of pearl cotton for subtle play of materials on the same work.
