LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 Mahogany 7459 tapestry wool is the essential ally for canvas and precision embroidery. This warm shade of mahogany brown, rich and deep, dresses the patterns with elegance while blending easily with the surrounding shades. Work with confidence on Pénélope or Aida canvas: this thick yarn covers generously without the need for overloading.

Composition and origin: 100% virgin wool, from French manufacturing DMC. This noble material offers a natural shine and exceptional hold when washing, provided dry care is recommended. The 8 meter skein allows you to create dense areas or subtle gradients depending on your technique. The unique diameter of the Colbert 486 facilitates passage through the needle without breaking the thread.

• Use the entire strand without dividing it for large and homogeneous surfaces.
• Work with 30 to 40 cm needles to prevent the thread from fraying during embroidery.
• Clean your finished works in cold soapy water, then dry away from direct heat.
• Combine Mahogany 7459 with warm beiges or deep greens for a graphic look on neutral backgrounds.
• Test this thread on small sashiko or free embroidery projects before committing to a large-scale piece.

Combine this wool with a 14 or 18 point Aida canvas and complete your palette with fine embroidery threads for details that require precision: the contrast between Colbert and Mouliné creates remarkable texture effects. A spool of matching sewing thread will help you maintain start and finish points discreetly.
