LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 Sahara 7461 tapestry wool is the natural choice for your small canvas and canvas embroidery projects. This 8 m skein in 100% pure wool offers a warm texture and a voluminous finish ideal for creating relief on your creations. The Sahara 7461 color, in a light and sunny beige shade, brings softness and luminosity to classic compositions as well as modern geometric patterns.

Technical characteristics: Material 100% virgin wool, product made in France. Non-separable, this thread is laid in a single thick line and is easily worked with a canvas needle. Its compact structure allows rapid coverage of the canvas without creating unsightly overlaps. The 8 meter skein generously covers a medium sized design on standard embroidery canvas.

• Thread the canvas needle with a needle length of 30 to 35 cm to avoid fluffing of the wool thread
• Use on Penelope canvas or unifil canvas with a minimum count of 10 stitches per inch for optimal results
• Create gradients by delicately superimposing Sahara 7461 with warmer beiges or pearl grays for a shading effect
• Adapt the thread tension: neither too tight so as not to curl the canvas, nor too loose to avoid the woolly effect
• Clean the finish with cold soapy water and leave to dry flat to preserve the structure of the stitch

Combine Sahara 7461 with threads of canvas from the same DMC range in cream or ivory tones to harmonize your compositions. This wool also goes well with embroidery silks in warm shades to create subtle material contrasts.
