• Work with a needle suitable for the canvas, preferably size 18 to 20 for this thickness of wool.
• Create gradients by layering Aztèque 708 with lighter mauves or warm grays for subtle shading.
• Use this wool for dense backgrounds or areas: it covers the stitches widely and quickly.
• Combine it with ocher or terracotta tones for a warm, contrasting palette evoking Aztec textile art.
• Store your balls away from direct light to preserve the intensity of the Aztec 708 color.

Complete your palette with a second shade from the Colbert range for plays of depth. This wool naturally combines with Penelope canvas fabrics or cotton Aida fabrics to mix techniques.
