For your tapestry and canvas projects, Colbert DMC wool offers a rich texture and exceptional coverage. This thick thread, made from 100% wool, can be worked with a tapestry needle on embroidery canvas or canvas, in cross stitch or classic tapestry stitch.

Material: 100% virgin wool, spun and twisted for maximum strength. Format: 1 skein of 8 meters. French manufacturing which guarantees constant quality and respect for textile traditions. This wool resists time well and retains its shine after washing in lukewarm water - it does not felt if you follow the care precautions.

Colbert wool comes in a rich palette of colors, allowing for endless combinations. Beaver Brown 7533 works particularly well with ochres, warm grays and deep blues to create subtle compositions.

• Use short needles of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fraying during stitching.
• For solid colors, work in regular, parallel points: the result will be smoother and more professional.
• Combine two or three shades close to brown or gray to create a natural gradient on landscape backgrounds.
• Colbert wool is perfect for small projects: a chair cushion, a frame, a small canvas to frame.
• Test your stitch on a piece of canvas before starting your work to control the tension.

Combine this wool with a quality embroidery canvas — a canvas with 10 to 14 threads per centimeter — and a No. 18 or No. 20 tapestry needle depending on the desired fineness. For finishes, complete with finer threads, such as Mouliné DMC, to create contrasts in thickness and relief.
