LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in black pepper color 7538 is the essential ally for your canvas and embroidery works on canvas. This wool works elegantly on medium embroidery canvases, providing even coverage and remarkable depth of color. The slightly nuanced black of this color creates subtle contrasts, perfect for structuring a pattern without overwhelming the work.

100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein is divided into 4 easily separable strands according to your finesse needs. French manufacturing guaranteeing consistent quality and a very soft woolly feel. The black pepper shade 7538 combines remarkably well with grays, deep blues and ecrus to create sophisticated gradients.

Available in a single 8 meter skein, ideal for details or small areas of a canvas. For a complete work, plan on several skeins depending on the size of the area to be embroidered.

• Work in 2 or 3 strands on 5 pt embroidery canvas for clean and precise details.
• Use 4 strands for dense, covering areas on 10 pt canvas.
• Test the black pepper shade 7538 in combination with off-whites for a very elegant chiaroscuro effect.
• Gently wrap the skein around your finger to avoid knots and tangles while working.
• This wool can be cleaned with lukewarm water and mild soap: follow this protocol to preserve the color and flexibility of the fibers.

Combine this tapestry wool with No. 18 or 20 canvas needles depending on the desired fineness, and with regularly woven linen or cotton canvases for optimal results. Black pepper 7538 goes particularly well with wools from the same range in light gray or beige shades for progressive shading and natural gradients.
