LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

A true ally of tapestry and canvas, this DMC Colbert 486 wool in scarlet red 7666 offers a vibrant and timeless shade for all your embroidery projects. The scarlet red color captures the light with intensity, ideal for creating landmarks or energetic areas on aida or cheesecloth.

100% pure wool made in France, this 8 meter skein can be worked on canvas or linen. Its standard thickness of the Colbert 486 range allows the points to be covered regularly without overloading. The natural fiber offers a nice hold in the hand and a soft finish once embroidered. Dry cleaning recommended to preserve color vibrancy.

• Separate the strands according to your canvas: work with 2 or 3 strands for aida and fine cheesecloth, 4 strands for thicker canvas.
• Thread your needle with 40 to 50 cm needles to prevent the wool from fraying during stitching.
• Use this shade in contrast with pearl grays or powder pinks for a subtle gradient.
• Perfect for embroidering initial letters on household projects or backstitching details to outline the contours.
• Create monochromatic arrangements by combining this scarlet red with other shades of red or burgundy available in the same range.

Combine this wool with Penelope canvas or regular cheesecloth for your traditional embroidery projects. Complete your palette with size 18 or 20 canvas needles and a drum to maintain the tension of your work.
