LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is essential for all canvas, Aubusson tapestry or embroidery projects on embroidery canvas. The duck green color 7598 offers a sophisticated shade, neither too light nor too dark, ideal for structuring a background or creating nuanced gradients. Spun and dyed in France, this wool benefits from recognized French textile know-how.

Made of 100% wool , this 8 meter skein guarantees very good coverage and resistance to wear — essential for long-lasting work. The natural wool fiber offers incomparable hold on canvas and perfectly accepts classic tapestry stitches: chain stitch, satin stitch, knotted stitch. The regular thickness of this thread simplifies threading and makes work smooth, even on small needles.

• Work with a No. 18 to No. 20 tapestry needle for a regular and controlled finish.
• Use needles of maximum 50 cm to avoid premature wear of wool fibers.
• Apply duck green 7598 flat on large surfaces, then superimpose strands of lighter shades to create relief.
• This wool can be cleaned dry or in cold, soapy water; avoid hot water which risks felting the material.
• Combine this color with pearl grays, petroleum blues or ochres for a classic depth effect.

To enrich your tapestry palette, combine this wool with the Colbert range in coordinated colors: the duck blue and lime green shades magnificently complement this duck green 7598, while the neutral ecru and gray bring depth to more complex compositions.
