LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas and cross-stitch projects, DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers incomparable strength and shine. The Ivy Green 7429 color provides a natural, deep and slightly gray tone, ideal for landscape backgrounds or foliage details. This 8 meter skein in 100% French wool guarantees regular application and a silky finish on fine or medium canvas.

Material and origin: 100% combed wool made in France, this yarn offers remarkable fineness and a color that is stable in the light. Length: 8 meters per skein. Thickness: suitable for Penelope or unifil type embroidery canvas, depending on the density of your base. Colbert is worked without separation of strands — it is a single and regular thread.

• Prefer tapestry needles No. 18 to 20 for this thickness, with an eye suitable for wool.
• Create gradients by alternating Ivy Green 7429 with lighter greens or deep blues for a natural landscape effect.
• This thread holds particularly well in dense flat areas, without felting: work with needles of 45 cm maximum.
• Wool care requires cleaning with fresh water and neutral soap, in brief immersion, without aggressive wringing.
• Ideal for dressing country-style chairs or for embroidering interior decoration cushions.

Combine this green with the pearl grays and blacks of the Colbert range to structure your botanical patterns. French wool also goes very well with natural linen fabrics, for a more artisanal and textured look.
