LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Ideal for embroidering on canvas or creating structured tapestry works, this DMC Colbert 486 wool offers exceptional hold to the stitches. The color Valparaíso 706 presents a rich and warm magenta pink, perfect for floral motifs or intense areas of color on embroidery canvas.

This 8 meter skein in 100% wool guarantees a durable and wash-resistant finish. Made in France , it benefits from recognized French textile know-how. DMC Colbert tapestry wool is characterized by its uniform thickness and its ability to widely cover the surface without forming lint, ideal for large thread cross stitch or large counting canvas.

Available variations: this Valparaíso 706 color is part of a complete range of harmonious shades, allowing soft or contrasting combinations depending on your project.

• Work with a No. 20 or 22 tapestry needle to avoid pulling on the fibers and preserve the regularity of the stitches.
• Use a needle length of 45 cm maximum so that the wool maintains its suppleness and does not fray.
• On a high-count canvas (6 or 7 points per inch), this wool generously fills each intersection without leaving any visible weft.
• Pair Valparaíso 706 with lighter pinks or deep purples to create a harmonious floral gradient.
• Care: cold wash in delicate wool or dry clean, to preserve the vibrancy of color and texture.

To enrich your embroidery palette, combine this wool with darker shades from the Colbert range to create subtle shadows, or combine it with neutral tones (beige, pearl gray) to highlight its chromatic intensity. An essential for any canvas work requiring a clean and durable finish.
