LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas or tapestry creations, Colbert 486 wool offers a warm texture and generous coverage. This thick French quality thread is worked with a tapestry needle on embroidery canvas, ideal for quickly filling large areas or creating harmonious gradients.

This 8 m skein in 100% virgin wool comes from the French manufacturer DMC. The color Sahara 7503 , a subtle golden beige observed on the hair, tints naturally and offers beautiful depth despite its lightness. The wool is easy to work with, its thickness allowing rapid progress on medium-sized projects or important details.

This skein is intended for embroidery on canvas with large holes, stem stitch, tapestry stitch or knotted stitch. You can also crochet it with a suitable needle for appliqués or textured elements.

• Work with needle lengths of 30 to 40 cm to avoid fraying at the ends.
• On a canvas with 12 or 14 points per 5 cm, this thread creates clean and well-defined patterns.
• Combine Sahara 7503 with warmer colors (terracotta, ocher) for Mediterranean shades.
• Dry clean or clean by hand in fresh lukewarm water; avoid the tumble dryer.
• Ideal for filling in the background of a burned pattern or restoring an old tapestry.

Combine this wool with a short tapestry needle no. 18 or 20, or with a combed linen embroidery canvas for an even richer result. DMC's French natural finishes guarantee stable dyeing and remarkable color fastness over time.
