LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and traditional embroidery projects. This thick, structured thread, worked in 100% wool, offers remarkable strength and generous coverage on embroidery canvas. Blue Seagull 7593 captures a soft, nuanced hue, perfect for creating calming backgrounds or marine details that exude authenticity.

Made of 100% pure wool , this 8 m ball directly from France guarantees impeccable quality. The dense spinning allows for smooth passage through the stitches and smooth work, ideal for medium to large canvases. The generous thickness of the thread considerably reduces execution time: a single strand largely covers a 10 or 11 point canvas stitch.

• Work in chain stitch or backstitch for clean, regular contours on classic canvas.
• Pair this blue with pearl grays or creams for a natural, cohesive coastal gradient.
• Use a single strand for a plain cover, or split slightly if your canvas has more than 12 stitches per inch.
• Cut needles of 40 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from fraying during work.
• Remember to lightly moisten your work once finished to fix the stitches and obtain a smooth and regular surface.

Combine this Blue Seagull 7593 color with warm tones (ochre, rust) for an elegant contrast, or prefer harmonies in blues and greens for a coherent picture. DMC Colbert wool coordinates easily with yarns of the same thickness for fluid gradients or structured geometric patterns.
