LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas projects, Colbert 486 DMC wool offers perfect hold and richly nuanced colors. Rosewood brown 7466 provides deep warmth, ideal for backgrounds, shadows or structuring details on embroidery canvas.

This 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool is worked with the appropriate tapestry needle for your canvas - for a 10-point canvas, prefer a No. 20 or 22 needle. The fiber made in France guarantees uniform quality and remarkable color fastness, even after washing in cold water and mild soap. Unlike lightweight embroidery threads, this wool comes in a single, non-separable thread, to be used as is to quickly cover large areas.

• Work in needles of 50 to 60 cm to avoid premature fraying and maintain the shine of the stitch.
• Adapt the thickness of your needle to the count of your canvas: rosewood brown 7466 blends beautifully with ecru or ivory backgrounds.
• For a subtle gradient, combine this brown with lighter shades or warm grays in your solid colors.
• Clean your finished work in cold water with a mild soap, without wringing: virgin wool will keep for a long time without felting if you respect this rule.
• Perfect for small cushions, tapestry frames or finishing canvas pockets.

Pair this Colbert wool with other shades from the DMC range, or complete your palette with finer canvas threads for pointillist details. Rosewood brown 7466 finds its place both on the surface and in discreet shading.
