LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For embroidery on canvas that exudes classic elegance, DMC Colbert Tapestry Wool 486 in Terre d'ochre 7506 is an essential reference. This warm color evokes natural shades, perfect for wall decoration works, cushions or traditionally inspired canvas pieces. The 8 meter skein offers a generous length to cover medium to large sized areas.

100% virgin wool , this tapestry wool combines finesse and robustness. Made in France, it guarantees consistent quality and uniform dyeing over the entire length. Its regular thickness allows easy installation on penelope canvas or cheesecloth, without risk of excessive fraying. DMC Colbert wool retains its shine even after several washes in cold water.

• Suitable for 10-point and 12-point canvas, work with No. 18 or No. 20 canvas needles depending on the density of your canvas.
• Cut lengths of 50 to 60 cm to prevent the fiber from being damaged by repeated passes through the holes in the canvas.
• Combine Terre d'ochre 7506 with warm grays or beiges to create subtle gradients that structure the work without disruption.
• For a material effect, combine it with lighter wools from the same colored universe in alternating cross stitch.
• Stitch the gray areas by going over the same place twice rather than loading the needle with superfluous strands.

This Terre d'ochre 7506 pairs wonderfully with discreet metallic threads or with DMC pearl cottons in compatible shades to enrich your creations. A color to reserve in your workshop for all traditional petit point projects that deserve a durable and prestigious material.
