LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and canvas embroidery projects. Its 100% wool fibers offer a natural suppleness and richness of color that only this material can provide. The Green Gray 7690 color soothes and structures compositions, particularly effective in the background or to harmonize passages of color.

This 8 m skein is divided into four strands , allowing you to work dense areas or finer lines depending on your needs. DMC Colbert wool is distinguished by its fastness to dyeing and its resistance to time: your works will retain their shine for years. Made in France , it meets the historic quality requirements of the manufacture, with a regularity of diameter which facilitates installation in canvas.

This wool adapts to several contexts: tapestry on regular or interlock canvas, embroidery on linen or thick aida, cross stitch on counting canvas. Embroiderers particularly appreciate its grip and the absence of knots or breaks during the work.

• Work with 50 cm needles to prevent the wool from fraying at the ends.
• Combine this gray-green with warm ochres or cool blues to create landscape gradients.
• Prefer a canvas with 10 or 12 points per cm to highlight the fineness of the strands.
• Clean your items in cold water with mild soap, then dry flat.
• For small details, separate one or two strands and work on finer canvas.

Combine this shade with other colors in the Colbert range to create harmonious palettes: blue grays, khaki greens and natural beiges create subtle ensembles worthy of period tapestries. An essential for any embroiderer who wants to master gradients and backgrounds.
