LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For a canvas that requires depth and warmth, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Gray Slate color 7591 is an essential ally. This gray shade with blue nuances soothes compositions while structuring patterns: it is suitable for backgrounds as well as architectural details. Made in France, this 100% pure wool offers the flexibility characteristic of natural fibers.

Composition: 100% wool . The 8 meter skein can be worked on embroidery canvas or with tapestry needle. This ideal length makes it possible to cover generous surfaces without multiplying the connections. The thread, which cannot be separated, is used in its entirety to guarantee equality of color and tension on your work.

• Work in needles of 30 to 40 cm to prevent the wool from fraying at critical points.
• Combine Gray Slate 7591 with ecru and beige to create sober and timeless gradients.
• On Penelope 10 or Etamine 14 canvas, a single skein is enough to garnish a small pattern or border.
• Lightly dampen your yarn if you are working in a very dry climate: the wool will regain its natural velvety feel.
• This bluish gray goes particularly well with powder pinks and petrol blues for harmonious compositions.

Complete your work with a lighter shade of Colbert white or cream, or deepen the shadows with a warmer gray: slate then becomes an excellent colorimetric bridge between your contrasts.
