LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the natural choice for your embroidery projects on canvas, cross stitch on thick Aida canvas or needlepoint work. This 100% virgin wool yarn offers a richness of color and depth that only natural material can give. The Old Gold 7473 color captures the warm tones of patinated metals, perfect for classic works, historical motifs or contemporary creations playing on the nostalgia of muted golden tones.

Made in France , this 8 meter skein of 100% wool is worked on canvases counting 10 to 14 points per inch. The wool fiber offers exceptional hold, does not pill with use and retains its shine even after several washes. Its natural thickness effectively covers the stitches without requiring several passes, which speeds up the execution of your projects.

• Pass the needle with lengths of 30 to 40 cm to preserve the wool and avoid fraying at the end of the skein.
• For large surfaces, work in regular long stitches which allow the canvas to breathe and highlight the depth of the color.
• Combine Old Gold 7473 with gray or ivory tones to create subtle gradients in floral or geometric patterns.
• Use a canvas drum to maintain even tension and preserve the integrity of the canvas while working.
• Wash your finished works in lukewarm water with a mild soap, then dry flat on a cloth: the wool will regain its original loft.

This Colbert wool blends harmoniously with fine DMC embroidery threads for details, or with other shades from the Colbert range to create gradient patterns. Its French origin and its 100% wool composition make it a lasting investment for each quality creation.
