LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is your ally for all embroidery projects on canvas and petit point tapestry. This sturdy 100% wool thread provides exceptional hold and an elegant finish on embroidery canvas. Foundation shade 7460, a light and delicate beige, adapts to many designs and harmonizes easily with other colors in the Colbert range.

Technical characteristics: 8 meter skein in 100% pure wool, made in France. This thread cannot be separated into strands — it is worked in its original thickness to preserve the density and regularity of your stitches. Colbert wool can be dry cleaned after embroidery to avoid any shrinkage or deformation. Its weight and texture make it ideal for medium to dense canvases, from classic petit point to skewers.

Available in Foundation color 7460, this neutral and timeless shade complements all canvas projects — whether you're working on a delicate floral pattern, a geometric design or a classic piece. Combine it with stronger shades to create subtle contrasts.

• Calculate the necessary length by measuring the pattern on your canvas: an 8 m skein covers approximately 20 to 25 cm² in small stitch.
• Work with needles of 50 to 60 cm to avoid fraying and maintain regular tension.
• Thread your canvas needle (No. 18 to 22) in single or double thickness depending on the desired stitch density.
• Store your skeins away from direct light to preserve the delicate shade of Foundation 7460.
• Combine this yarn with darker yarns — gray, taupe, navy blue — to create subtle, professional gradients.

For a harmonious look, combine this Colbert wool with other neutral shades from the same range or dark wool threads for shadows. French DMC Colbert wool is recognized for its fineness and strength: a lasting investment for your canvas works.
