LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Cross-stitch or half-stitch tapestry requires wool that holds the color well and does not felt under the needle. This skein of candy pink Colbert DMC Wool 7603 offers exactly this hold, with a smooth and regular fiber that glides smoothly on both the thinnest and thickest embroidery canvases.

Composition 100% wool — a noble fiber that is easy to work with. This wool is distinguished by its non-separable structure: unlike embroidery threads which are divided into strands, Laine Colbert comes in a single thread of a size suitable for needles 18 to 24 depending on your canvas count. The skein contains 8 meters of thread, ideal for covering medium-sized patterns or important details on a larger composition. French manufacturing : DMC produces this wool in its workshops, guaranteeing consistent quality and responsible sourcing.

The candy pink color 7603 captures a bright and generous hue, perfect for elements that need to stand out: flowers, ribbons, clothes of small characters in rural scenes. This shade plays well against neutral backgrounds and creates contrast on ecru or beige canvases.

• Lay your canvas on a loom or stretched frame to maintain even tension and uniform coverage.
• Cut needles of approximately 50 cm to limit scratching of the wool each time it passes through the canvas.
• This wool tolerates cleaning with cold, soapy water; dry flat without twisting to preserve shine.
• Combine this pink with darker shades — eggplant, burgundy, fuchsia pink — to create a natural floral gradient.
• Change needle every three or four jobs to maintain a clean point and not tear the fibers.

Complete your palette with other shades of Laine Colbert DMC for mid-tone transitions, or combine it with a discreet metallic thread to add subtlety to flat areas of color. Candy pink gains in elegance when it meets pearl grays or off-whites.
