LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is your ally for all canvas and traditional embroidery projects. This algae green 7428, subtle and nuanced, brings a natural depth to the works without overloading the stitches. Whether it is to complete a started canvas or to create marine and botanical gradients, this shade finds its place in every embroiderer's palette.

100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein offers the warm texture and softness characteristic of Colbert wool. Made in France , it benefits from recognized textile know-how and impeccable spinning quality. The yarn is worked without division - unlike mouliné - and slides easily on the canvas needles thanks to its regular twist.

• Combine this seaweed green with chalky beiges or whites for an airy geometric pattern.
• Use two strands on 10 canvas or three strands on 14 canvas to obtain even coverage.
• Practice light shading by alternating seaweed green and olive green to sculpt foliage or a water surface.
• Test dyeing in cold water if you want to create your own intermediate shades.
• Keep the remains in a skein for alterations: Colbert wool cannot be knitted and is reserved for embroidery.

Combine this thread with No. 18 or 20 canvas needles depending on your canvas, and complete your palette with complementary colors in Colbert wool: blue grays, natural beiges and whites will structure your compositions. A great base for classic tapestry projects or decorative cross-stitch pieces on canvas.
