LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is your ally to bring your embroidery projects on canvas and tapestry to life. Made in France, this 8 m skein of 100% wool offers a rich texture and deep colors that enhance each stitch. The Chocolate 7477 color provides a warm and enveloping shade, ideal for creating structured backgrounds or gradient patterns.

Made of 100% virgin wool , this tapestry wool is characterized by its fineness and its ability to quickly cover the canvas. Its regular thickness allows for precision work, whether you opt for cross stitch, satin stitch or back stitch on embroidery canvas. The 8 m skein covers a generous surface area for a medium-sized pattern or the solid areas of a large project.

• Work with a tapestry needle sized to suit the canvas (canvas 10 or 14) for a uniform, lint-free finish.
• Limit your needles to 40 cm in length to preserve the softness of the wool and avoid wear of the fibers.
• Create gradients by alternating Chocolat 7477 with similar shades — caramel or warm gray — for a natural shading effect.
• Wash your finished work in lukewarm water with a mild shampoo, without wringing, then lay it flat to dry.
• Use this wool for large projects: cushions, wall pictures, wall tapestries or furnishing accessories.

Pair Chocolat 7477 with light creams, beiges or grays to create subtle contrasts. This wool also goes well with terracotta or ochre tones for a warm autumnal palette. Complete your palette by combining several tones from the DMC Colbert range for complex and nuanced embroidery projects.
