LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry on canvas or wool cross-stitch projects, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool offers exceptional hold and a richness of nuance. The Chestnut 7508 color embodies the warm lands of autumn: a golden brown which dialogues magnificently with ochres and deep reds. This 100% wool works easily on the strands of your canvas, whether it is coarse or fine knit.

Made in France , this 8 meter skein in 100% wool benefits from French textile know-how. The thick yarn gains regularity and softness, without felting when washed in cold water. Its natural thickness quickly covers the surface, making each point visible and structured. The skein is carefully packaged, wound around a wooden spool which facilitates storage and handling.

• Thread your No. 18 to 20 tapestry needle and work in fluid movements to avoid pilling on the wool.
• Pair Chestnut 7508 with ranges of browns and olive greens to create a gradient of fall foliage.
• For fine details, gently separate the thread into two sections and work with a finer needle.
• After completion, clean your work with cold soapy water and leave to dry flat to preserve the hold of the stitches.
• Ideal for small pockets or cushions: 8 meters are more than enough for a surface of 10 x 10 cm in regular mesh.

Complete your palette with matching canvas threads, suitable tapestry needles, and Aida or cheesecloth that highlight the depth of Chestnut 7508.
