LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers remarkable finesse for canvas and embroidery works on canvas. The Light Porcelain Blue 7594 color evokes the delicate nuances of old earthenware, with this soothing gray-blue hue which harmonizes equally well with neutral shades and more assertive colors. This 100% pure wool is easy to work with, without lint, for clean, regular stitches.

Composition and origin: This 8 meter skein is made in France , guaranteed 100% virgin wool. Its standard thickness is ideal for medium count canvases (10 to 14 stitches per inch) and needles effortlessly onto prepared canvases. Colbert wool is distinguished by its natural softness and exceptional grip.

• Work with lengths of 50 to 60 cm to avoid felting and preserve the shine of the fiber.
• Fill your backgrounds with Beauvais stitches or back stitches for homogeneous and elegant coverage.
• Combine several shades of blue — turquoise, slate, off-white — to create subtle gradients on your floral or geometric patterns.
• Test a No. 20 or 22 tapestry needle depending on the thickness of your canvas: the wool slides without catching or fraying.
• Maintain your finished items by gently washing them with cold water and neutral soap, then dry flat to preserve the stitches.

This professional quality wool combines naturally with other shades in the DMC Colbert range or with English Tapestry wools for harmonious creations. Ideal for starting out in tapestry or for enriching a current project.
