LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 Lin bistre 7493 tapestry wool is essential for your embroidery projects on canvas. This natural shade, between beige and gray-brown, brings a subtle warmth to cross-stitch, petit point or classic embroidery compositions. A true ally of designers looking for earthy and timeless tones, it blends perfectly with ocher, pearl gray or ivory shades for harmonious gradients.

100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein offers a soft and rich finish. The thread has a regular section and is easily separated into four strands to adapt the density of your work. French manufacturing : the guarantee of constant quality and reliable color over the years. The iconic DMC spool ensures optimal storage of every meter.

• Use four strands for solid colors on #10 or #14 canvas; two strands are enough for fine details and contours.
• Try a subtle mix with Bistre Linen and a nuanced gray to create natural shadows on your patterns.
• This wool can be cleaned dry or delicately washed in lukewarm water; avoid wringing to preserve its volume.
• Ideal for restoring an old tapestry or harmonizing an existing palette thanks to its timeless depth.
• Save your skeins: this 8 meter length more than covers a medium-sized pattern on standard canvas.

Combine Lin bistre 7493 with petrol grays or very pale beiges to obtain subtle gradients. Warm ochres and soft browns naturally complement this elegant neutral base, perfect for landscapes, tapestry-stitch portraits or timeless geometric friezes.
