LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in rosewood brown 7700 is the essential ally for embroiderers who work on canvas or thick embroidery linen. This 8 m skein of 100% virgin wool offers a warm texture and a natural velvety feel that enriches each stitch with its soft shine. Made in France, it meets the requirements of quality works.

Composition and characteristics: 100% virgin wool, 8 m per skein, rosewood brown shade 7700. This wool does not separate into strands: it is worked as is, which makes it easy to thread on medium-sized tapestry needles. The rosewood brown color combines warm and slightly reddish touches, ideal for backgrounds and shading in traditional works.

• Apply this wool to Penelope or Etamine canvas for structured and regular cross stitches.
• Use tapestry needles No. 18 to 22 depending on your canvas, to avoid rubbing the fibers.
• Use needles of 30 to 40 cm to preserve the natural velvety texture and avoid knots.
• Combine rosewood brown 7700 with ocher or beige tones to create harmonious gradients on a neutral background.
• Clean your works in warm soapy water after completion, then dry flat: no tumble drying.

Combine this wool with DMC fine or medium canvases, or with 18 or 25 point linen embroidery canvases for small and medium-sized projects. Experienced embroiderers particularly appreciate this thread for structured cross stitches, shading half-stitches or flat areas of color on wall decoration works.
