LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Blue Cascade color 7599 is your ally for all canvas and embroidery projects on canvas. This 8m skein of 100% virgin wool offers a rich and generous texture, perfectly suited to chain stitches, canvas cross-stitch and half-stitch techniques. The slightly gray sky blue of this color soothes and harmonizes compositions, whether classic or contemporary.

French manufacturing guaranteeing consistent color and twist quality. This wool works easily, without excessive lint, on medium pin canvases (14 to 18 stitches per inch). The thick yarn generously covers the canvas, reducing the number of trips required. The natural thickness of Colbert 486 makes it a good choice for small to medium format projects.

Blue Cascade 7599 combines harmoniously with pearl grays, navy blues or off-whites to create subtle gradients. It finds its place both in a maritime landscape and in a refined geometric composition.

• Thread the skein into a No. 18 or 20 canvas needle depending on the thickness of your canvas, without dividing it.
• For fine details, separate two or three strands and work with a finer needle.
• Wool can be cleaned in warm soapy water and allowed to dry flat, never in the dryer.
• Use a piece of adhesive tape on the back of the canvas to prevent the wool from slipping at the end of the row.
• Combine this blue Cascade with warm tones (ochre, rust) for a calm chromatic contrast.

Combine this wool with Bohin or Prym canvas needles, as well as a textile frame to highlight your creation. A natural or gold wood passepartout enhances the deep blue rendering of this skein.
