LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool is the essential ally for embroiderers on canvas and creators of small wool projects. Mahogany 7497 offers a warm shade, between reddish brown and dark mahogany, ideal for structuring a pattern or creating rich backgrounds. This 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool, made in France, can be worked whole or separated into several strands depending on the density of your canvas.

Composition and specifications: 100% wool. 8 m skein. Made in France. Colbert wool is characterized by its fineness and tenacity, ideal for chain stitches, satin stitches and appliqués. It does not lint and retains its natural shine after washing in lukewarm water.

Mahogany color 7497: A deep brown with warm reflections, perfect for highlighting, contouring or delicate solid colors. This shade pairs beautifully with ochres, creams and grays for a timeless look.

• Separate the wool into two or three strands to embroider on fine or medium canvas, maintaining a natural shine.
• Use the entire skein for textured stitches (lock stitch, loop stitch) on coarser canvas.
• Limit your needles to 40 cm to prevent the fiber from wearing out prematurely and losing its volume.
• Wash your delicate wool creations at 30°C, then dry flat: Colbert wool regains its natural loft.
• Combine it with neutral tones (titanium white, mouse gray) to create contrast, or with powder pinks for subtle harmony.

Perfect your canvas embroiderers with Bohin No. 20 or 22 needles, specialized in thick fibers. A must-have for classic French canvases and heritage designs that require premium wool and a durable finish.
