LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and canvas embroidery projects. Worked in 100% wool, this 8 meter skein offers a warm texture and a very fine finish, particularly popular for small stitches and delicate details on embroidery canvas support.

The color Camel 7472 deploys a warm and nuanced beige shade, ideal for creating subtle backgrounds or gradients on your canvas works. Made in France , this wool benefits from recognized French textile know-how. Each branch is made up of four strands which can be separated slightly to adapt the thickness of your line according to the count of the canvas and the desired effect.

Here's how to get the most out of this quality wool:

• Prefer needles of 30 to 40 cm to avoid premature fraying of fibers on dense embroidery canvas.
• On a 14 or 16 pt canvas, Camel 7472 creates a regular and bright solid color without overloading the meshes.
• Combine it with Navy Blue 7320 or Gray-Blue 7360 for sophisticated shading gradients on landscapes or architecture.
• For clear contours, work in two strokes rather than a single thick line: the result will be cleaner and more professional.
• Clean your finished works in warm, mild soapy water, then leave to dry flat: this wool thus retains its natural shine and suppleness.

This 8 meter skein is enough for a medium-sized pattern or to structure the background of a classic format canvas. To combine with other Colbert shades to compose a harmonious palette and build relief in your compositions. The final result is definitely worth it: a smooth, shiny and durable surface.
