LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For tapestries that require generous and tonic wool, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is essential. This thick 100% wool thread offers the structure and volume that canvas embroiderers or upholsterers are looking for. The Caribbean Blue 7650 color captures the depth of a tropical sea, with shades that play between deep blue and slightly gray highlights.

This wool is worked with tapestry needle on embroidery canvas, from cross stitch to Aubusson stitch. The 8 m skein generously covers a medium-sized pattern or a larger detail depending on the stitch chosen. French manufacturing : Colbert DMC is spun and dyed in France, guaranteeing quality and color consistency.

The variations of this range allow you to create harmonious gradients or striking contrasts. Caribbean Blue goes particularly well with navy blues, pearl grays or creams to create a soothing atmosphere.

• Thread the classic tapestry needle (n° 18 to 20) for optimal working comfort on canvas.
• Work in needles of 60 to 80 cm to prevent the wool from fraying prematurely.
• Alternate cross stitch and Aubusson stitch on the same work to play on textures and depth.
• Pair Caribbean Blue 7650 with neutrals or earthy tones for a balanced composition.
• Test first on a reserve canvas to evaluate the stitch density with this generous wool.

This wool goes well with other shades in the Colbert DMC range, as well as with specialized tapestry needles and Etamine or Penelope canvas fabrics. For careful detail work, supplement your palette with finer embroidery thread on fine areas.
