LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Marais Green color 7424 is the ideal companion for your canvas embroidery and tapestry projects. This 8 meter skein in 100% wool offers a warm texture and remarkable color fastness, essential for works intended to last. Made in France, it embodies French textile know-how recognized worldwide.

Composition and technical characteristics : entirely in virgin wool, this Colbert range is specifically designed for canvas and needlepoint. Swamp Green 7424 is a deep, slightly gray shade that evokes the natural tones of humid nature. Each skein contains 8 meters of ready-to-use yarn, without the need for strand separation. Its regular thickness makes it easier to work with tapestry needles.

• Use this wool on large to medium-weave canvases for optimal results and good coverage of the canvas.
• Work with needles of 40 to 50 cm to prevent the fiber from fraying prematurely as you go through it.
• The green of the marsh combines perfectly with ochres, pearl grays and shades of foliage to create natural gradients.
• Care: wash your finished item in cold water with mild soap, then let dry flat, away from direct heat sources.
• Perfect for small format projects — pads, frames, embroidery details — as well as large wallpapered surfaces.

Combine this Colbert wool with Aida canvases or denser fabrics to embroider geometric, floral or abstract patterns. The warm shades of wool combine elegantly with pearls or small metallic elements to add depth to your composition.
