LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for embroiderers and upholsterers looking for a noble and durable material. Ébène 7469 offers a deep black, slightly tinted with brown, which fits into all styles of canvas: whether gray, beige or colored, this subtle black does not create an unpleasant visual break. Each 8 meter skein of 100% merino wool allows you to cover a large surface area without having to juggle fittings.

This French wool is specially designed for tapestry on canvas. Its thick, regular fibers glide easily on even the finest embroidery canvases. 100% virgin wool, dyed in France , it offers exceptional color fastness: Ébène 7469 does not fade in light or washing, which makes it the ideal choice for works intended to last through generations. The 8 meter spool can be worked single, without the need to separate it into strands.

• Thread your tapestry needle with the whole skein to quickly cover the flat background or contours
• Use it for gradients by alternating Ebony 7469 with lighter shades (pearl gray, taupe): black creates shadows naturally
• On Penelope canvas or Cheesecloth, this slightly grayed black enriches the patterns without crushing them
• Wash your finished works in cold soapy water: merino wool retains its suppleness and velvety
• Perfect for repair and refresh: a stitch of Ebony 7469 tightens a loose stitch or repairs a worn area

Combine Ebony 7469 with blue grays (color 7202), warm taupe (color 7465) or cream beige (color 7613) to create timeless palettes. An essential in the workshop of any upholsterer who prepares pieces intended for exceptional canvas.
