LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Teak 7489 color is the essential ally for embroiderers looking for a noble material that is easy to work with. This 8 m skein of 100% virgin wool thickens generously on canvas or tapestry, allowing you to cover large surfaces without breaking up the thread. Teak 7489, a warm brown with golden inflections, brings depth to traditional works as well as contemporary creations.

Material: 100% virgin wool — exceptional density and regularity. Length: 8 meters per skein, sufficient for a large pattern or several small details. French manufacturing : each thread is designed and produced in France, a guarantee of consistent quality. Colbert does not separate into strands — it works whole, thick and uniform, for structured stitches and dense surfaces.

• Work with a tapestry needle on Aida canvas or cheesecloth: the diameter of the thread generously fills each stitch.
• Clean dry or in warm soapy water, without wringing: the wool accepts gentle washing at the end of production.
• Combine Teak 7489 with similar shades — ocher, red-brown, beige — to create sophisticated gradients.
• Cut needles of only 30 to 40 cm: the wool fluffs quickly if it wears too much against the canvas.
• Try satin or chain stitches to highlight the rich color of this colorway.

Teak 7489 benefits from being placed next to a pearl gray or a light taupe: these shades naturally match the nuances of brown and amplify the relief effect. Complete your palette with other Colbert skeins in earthy shades or choose a contrasting embroidery thread for finishing touches.
