LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool has established itself as the essential ally of embroiderers and canvassers. This thick, regular yarn, worked in 100% wool, provides generous and uniform coverage on canvas, whether in small or large stitch. The Ebony 7515 color is a deep black, slightly warmed, ideal for structuring backgrounds, delineating contours or creating subtle shadow effects without hardening the composition.

Technical characteristics: This 8 meter skein in 100% pure wool can be worked with a size 18 to 20 tapestry needle, depending on your canvas and your stitch size. Colbert DMC wool is spun and twisted to ensure remarkable strength over repeated stitching. Made in France, it benefits from strict quality control and a stable color, guaranteeing durable works with colors that do not fade.

• Use this deep solid black for thick backgrounds that require good dot hold.
• Mix Ebony 7515 with pearl grays or off-whites to create nuanced gradients without going gray.
• On Aida 14 or 16 fabric, this thread covers generously: no need to double the passages.
• Wash your finished work in cold water with a mild soap; Colbert wool supports cleaning without shrinking if the temperature remains stable.
• Combine this color with warm tones (browns, ochres, deep reds) for dramatic contrasts on classic or modern canvas projects.

Colbert DMC wool pairs naturally with Bohin needles specialized in tapestry, as well as with pre-wired embroidery canvases. Its 8 meters are enough to cover a small to medium-sized pattern, or to create the outlines of a larger work. For large format projects, anticipate several skeins of the same dye lot to ensure uniformity of shades.
