LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool, color Cotonnade 7500, is an 8 m skein in 100% wool, made in France. This thick and structured wool is essential for embroiderers and upholsterers looking for a noble and durable material.

Made from 100% wool, this tapestry wool offers a generous thickness ideal for medium density canvas and embroidery work. Color Cotonnade 7500 captures a very calming, natural ivory hue that complements any classic or contemporary color scheme. The 8 m skein covers a large space, reducing the number of thread changes during your work. Made in France, it has met DMC quality standards for decades.

• Work with a tapestry needle of a size suitable for the canvas (generally 18 to 22) to obtain regular tension and well-defined stitches.
• On Penelope or mono canvas, this wool covers very well thanks to its thickness; plan fewer passes than on a fine wire.
• Ideal for densified cross stitches, half stitches or chain stitches on upholstery fabric or cushion.
• Combine Cotonnade 7500 with pearl grays or warm beiges for subtle gradients on walls or panels.
• This wool can be dry cleaned or delicately washed in lukewarm water with a mild detergent; avoid hot water to preserve the fiber.

Combine this wool with a quality embroidery canvas base and curved needles for painted needlework. Canvas embroiderers will also enjoy combining it with other Colbert colors to create multi-colored patterns or progressive gradients.
