LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

To embroider on canvas or create a canvas with regular stitches, this DMC Colbert tapestry wool is the essential ally. Olive green 7548 provides a natural, slightly gray hue, which harmonizes equally well with neutral backgrounds and contrasting color palettes. This 8 meter skein can be worked in a single strand on canvas or petit point, without needing to separate it like a classic embroidery thread.

100% virgin wool of superior quality, Laine Colbert is characterized by its solidity and its grip. Each strand has an even thickness, ensuring even coverage and precise stitching. Made in France , this wool benefits from recognized textile know-how, particularly appreciated by embroiderers and canvassers. The 8 meter skein provides sufficient length for small patterns or details of a larger project.

Also available in many other colors from the Colbert range, olive green 7548 naturally combines with warm browns, pearl grays and ivory shades for elegant canvas compositions. You can also use it alone to create subtle backgrounds that highlight details in brighter colors.

• Thread your canvas needle directly without separating the strand: Colbert wool can be worked as is on regular canvas.
• For tight cross stitches or small stitches, a No. 18 or 20 upholstery needle provides smooth passage without forcing.
• Store your skeins away from direct light and humidity to preserve the natural shine of the wool.
• Test your work in dry cleaning before presenting it: Colbert wool washes delicately and regains its fineness after a rest.
• Combine several Colbert colors to create subtle gradients or a pointillist effect on your canvas.

To complete your project, combine this wool with a Penelope canvas or regular linen, depending on your technique. Bohin or Prym tapestry needles guarantee regular passage without snagging the fibers. A real asset for traditional embroidery works that require lasting reliability and beauty.
