LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is your ally for all canvas and canvas embroidery projects. This robust yarn in 100% virgin wool can be worked on Penelope or Aida canvas with great fluidity, without linting even after several passes in the same stitch. The Festival 711 color, a subtle lavender blue with pearly reflections, brings lightness to geometric compositions and floral patterns.

Composition and dimensions: Made in France, this 8 meter skein of pure wool offers a noble material that is soft to the touch. The structure of Colbert thread allows you to work in two strands for fine details or in full thickness for dense solid areas. Its regular thickness guarantees uniform coverage of the canvas, without excessive effort when stitching.

• Divide the skein into lengths of 40 to 50 cm to prevent the wool from fraying over time.
• Combine Festival 711 with warm shades — terracotta, ocher, salmon pink — for a harmonious contrast on ecru canvas.
• Work on a 12 or 14 pts/cm embroidery canvas so that the wool ideally occupies each square.
• Clean your finished work with warm soapy water and leave to dry flat, away from any heat source.
• Test the rendering on a small area of ​​canvas before launching a large pattern: the wool may cover differently depending on the tension.

Colbert naturally complements other DMC colors in the tapestry range for subtle gradients or multi-colored compositions. Combine it with a linen embroidery canvas for an authentic and lasting result.
