LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas projects, this Colbert DMC wool offers remarkable density and regularity. The Dark Wood color 7467 provides a warm, deep shade, ideal for backgrounds, shadows and contours that structure a composition. Made in France, this wool combines tradition and reliability.

Each 8 m skein is made of 100% wool, combed and even, guaranteeing clean and regular stitches on embroidery canvas. Colbert wool can be cleaned dry or with cold soapy water: the finished item retains its shine and luster without shrinking. This standard diameter is worked with a No. 18 or 20 tapestry needle, depending on the density of your canvas.

• Test the color on your canvas before starting: the Dark Wood shade 7467 creates subtle gradients when mixed with warm grays or beiges.
• Work with lengths of 40 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from becoming straightened or fluffing at the ends.
• This wool is also suitable for cross stitching on fine canvas, if you want more airy and textured stitches.
• Combine Dark Wood 7467 with light shades to create relief in a single pattern, without multiplying colors.
• Clean your finished work in cold water with a mild soap, then dry it flat to preserve the regularity of the stitches.

Combine this wool with other Colbert DMC shades to create harmonious blends of shades. Blondes, browns and grays complement each other naturally with Dark Wood 7467, allowing for gradient transitions.
