LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas projects, this DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers a bright and warm shade. Grapefruit yellow 7431 brings cheerfulness to works without tipping towards acidity: it is a round, slightly golden shade, which dialogues elegantly with neutrals as well as with other yellows and oranges.

Composition 100% wool , this wool can be worked with classic tapestry stitch, cross stitch on coarse grain canvas, or crochet for thicker creations. The 8 m skein comfortably covers medium-sized patterns and can be used as is without separation of strands. Made in France, this wool offers regularity of color and softness of touch characteristic of the Colbert DMC range.

Available in a single shade for this reference, grapefruit yellow 7431 can be easily combined with other shades in the Colbert range — think warm grays, subtle ochres, powdery pinks — to create harmonious gradients or controlled contrasts.

• Work with a No. 20 or 22 tapestry needle for regular, flowing stitches on canvas counting 10 to 14.
• Thread lengths of 40 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from fraying or bunching up while working.
• Test this wool in shades: go from grapefruit yellow to gold in gradients to give volume to rounded shapes.
• This wool can be cleaned dry or by hand in cold water with a very mild soap; avoid wringing and tumble drying.
• Combine it with fine silk or mouliné threads for delicate details on a plain Colbert wool background.

Perfect for embroiderers looking for a solid and easy-to-handle wool, Colbert DMC grapefruit yellow 7431 finds its place in both classic projects and contemporary creations. Combine it with a quality canvas and suitable needles for a professional and lasting result.
