LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool has established itself as the essential ally of the upholsterer and the canvas embroiderer. Its 8 meters of 100% virgin wool allow you to cover generous surfaces without having to change the yarn. The Sienna Ocher color 7446 offers a warm, slightly reddish hue, which enriches earthy harmonies while blending with paler ochres and deep browns.

A robust and easy-to-use wool . Its regular thickness of 4 mm slides smoothly through the meshes of the canvas, even at fine counts. Made in France, this wool benefits from a careful twisting process which limits lint during work. 100% virgin wool guarantees exceptional strength and color fastness, even after washing. The 8 m skein format easily covers a medium-sized pattern or the flat areas of a more ambitious composition.

• Work with regular crossed passes on the embroidery canvas: the wool lays down gently without rubbing the adjacent fibers.
• Measure your needles between 60 and 80 cm to prevent the thread from fraying at the ends during work.
• Combine Sienna Ocher 7446 with tones of terracotta red or sand beige to create a rich and enveloping background.
• For contours and fine details, switch to a thinner thread from the same palette: the effect of depth will be even better.
• Clean your work in cold soapy water once finished: the virgin wool regains all its shine and natural suppleness.

Combine this wool with specialized canvas needles, mono or Penelope canvases depending on your reference count, and other colors from the Colbert range to build harmonious gradients. Creators of volume cross stitches or Brazilian embroidery will also appreciate this generous material which gives relief to each stitch.
