LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the reference thread for canvas and embroidery on aida canvas. Light Taupe 7463 offers a neutral and sophisticated shade, easy to combine with other colors to create subtle gradients or discreet contrasts. This 8 meter skein in 100% French virgin wool can be worked without separation: you will use it as is to fill your patterns with constant thickness and volume.

100% virgin wool made in France , Colbert 486 offers regular coverage and an incomparable soft feel. Its generous diameter allows you to quickly cover large surfaces, while its twisted structure prevents lint and snags when stitching. The uniform thickness makes stretching easy, even for beginner embroiderers. A real tapestry wool, without synthetic material.

Light Taupe 7463 complements the brand's ranges of warm browns and neutral grays, offering a soft alternative to more intense shades. Combine it with medium taupes or ecrus for a refined monochrome work, or with gray blues for a relaxing pastel harmony.

• For a monochrome or almost monochrome work, work this shade on a light canvas by varying the point densities: the relief will appear more marked.
• Use a No. 20 or 22 tapestry needle with this wool to slide frictionlessly through the holes in the canvas.
• Cut lengths of around 50 cm: the wool handles better and stays shiny longer.
• Keep this shade for discreet finishes around the eyes or mouths: it fades without disappearing.
• On a large stitch canvas or a rug, this wool creates a warm texture in broad cross stitch or flat satin stitch.

Combine this wool with Bohin or Prym tapestry needles, DMC unifil fabrics, and other Colbert shades to expand your palette. On a frame adapted to your work, you will have a French thread that is reliable and easy to work with from start to finish.
