LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the natural choice for your canvas and canvas embroidery projects. This robust 100% wool yarn offers exceptional coverage and subtle nuances that only natural fiber can reproduce. The Lama 7525 color, a warm, slightly gray brown, brings depth and warmth to traditional patterns as well as contemporary creations.

Made in France , this thread embodies French textile know-how. The 8 meter skein is ideal for medium-sized projects—geometric designs, portraits, or needlepoint rugs. Virgin wool, not synthetically dyed, ages beautifully and becomes more supple with use. Work with a No. 18 or 20 tapestry needle depending on the fabric, and open your stitches to avoid premature fluffing.

• Use this wool in solid color on 10 or 12 point embroidery canvas: the fiber divides naturally and covers effortlessly.
• Combine Lama 7525 with beiges or pearl grays for timeless gradients in needlepoint rugs.
• Work in gaps of 30 to 40 cm to preserve the integrity of the fiber and limit fraying.
• Ideal for restorations of old tapestries, this shade harmonizes easily with classic palettes.
• Try chain stitch or seed stitch for subtle relief on smooth backgrounds.

Combine this wool with quality tapestry needles and good density Aida or cheesecloth. Small painted or pre-marked canvases particularly benefit from this generous thickness. Complete your palette with grays or ecrus to amplify the depth effect of Lama 7525.
