LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool, color Squirrel 7444, is the reference fiber for all your embroidery projects on canvas and tapestry. This warm orange tone, observed on the skein, brings a natural luminosity to cross-stitch works as well as to needle embroiderers. The 8 meter skein is intended for both fine details and medium surface areas: a generous length for a complete pattern or relief finishes.

100% French virgin wool , spun and dyed in France, this Colbert wool offers exceptional fastness to washing and light. The regular-size thread glides over the canvas without linting or fraying, even at the densest crossings. Its smooth and soft texture perfectly matches the stitches of the penelope or aida canvas, from cross stitch to gros stitch.

• Thread the thread in a single thickness for details and subtle gradients on fine canvas.
• Use the full length without dividing it: Colbert wool is always worked whole, unlike the separable strands of mouliné.
• Dry clean or gentle cold water after completion: French fiber holds up to gentle washing without shrinking.
• Combine with earthy tones — beige, light brown, warm gray — for an autumnal monochrome on neutral fabrics.
• Combine with Colbert in similar shades to create progressive shading effects on large areas.

Complete your tapestry palette with the other colors from the Colbert DMC range: the consistency of the shades and the uniformity of the French fiber guarantee harmonious results on your entire canvas, from the frame to the cushion.
