LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Chinese lacquer red 7544 is the essential ally for your cross stitch projects on canvas or embroidery canvas. This deep and vibrant red, with slightly bluish reflections, brings presence to classic motifs as well as contemporary compositions without dominating the entire room.

Composition and manufacturing: this skein of wool offers 8 meters of thread in 100% virgin wool , tested and validated for needle embroidery. Made in France, it guarantees consistent quality and reliable color from one reel to the next. DMC Colbert wool does not separate into strands: it is worked as is, which simplifies implementation compared to classic embroidery threads.

• Use this wool in a flat color for backgrounds or areas of dense color, without fear of seeing the thread fray under repeated passes.
• On an Aida or cheesecloth embroidery canvas, combine lacquer red with off-whites or pearl grays to create subtle gradients.
• Work with a size 20 or 22 tapestry needle for a regular, fatigue-free result of the thread.
• Limit your needles to 40 centimeters to preserve the elasticity of the wool and avoid premature aging of the fibers.
• This red is suitable for fir base projects, winter landscapes or floral arrangements requiring a touch of warmth.

Pair this red wool with shades of DMC Colbert burgundy or burgundy to create progressive shading, or combine it with golds and blacks for a baroque effect. Experienced embroiderers will appreciate its generous thickness, which quickly covers the canvas and highlights the patterns without multiplying the passages.
