LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For tapestry projects requiring a robust, easy-to-thread wool, DMC Colbert tapestry wool is an essential classic. The Vert du Tyrol 7542 color offers a natural green, slightly gray tint, which evokes Alpine landscapes. This shade soothes the eyes and blends harmoniously with wood tones, ecrus and grays for balanced compositions.

This 8 meter wool is made of 100% wool and manufactured in France . Its structure of four strands twisted together offers an ideal thickness for the petit point canvas as well as for larger stitches. It does not separate into fine strands: you work it as is, which makes the work faster and more regular than traditional embroidery.

• Thread the needle with a length of approximately 50 cm to avoid fraying and maintain a soft thread in your hand.
• Prefer a tapestry needle with a round tip, size 20 to 22, so as not to split the fibers of the canvas.
• Clean the finished work with lukewarm soapy water, without twisting the piece; virgin wool dries quickly.
• Combine this Tyrolean green with other lighter shades of green or with tones of brown for a forest gradient.
• Use on a simple or regular embroidery canvas (Aida, cheesecloth), depending on the desired density of the final stitch.

This thread combines perfectly with other colors in the Colbert DMC range to create geometric or floral patterns. Complete your palette with pearl grays, slate blues or ochres for subtle and timeless results.
