LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers a dense and regular texture, ideal for filling embroidery canvases or for creating tight-knit tapestry works. The Agate 713 color, a nuanced gray with subtle reflections, is suitable for both small stitch canvas projects and embroidery work on high count Aida canvas.

Composition: 100% virgin wool , spun and dyed in France. This natural material offers exceptional durability over time and has a slight flexibility which makes it easier to pass through the needles. Length: 8 meters per skein , a sufficient quantity to fill large areas or to accumulate layers in dense solids. Colbert wool does not separate into strands: it can be worked as a whole, guaranteeing uniform coverage and controlled shine.

This wool comes in a rich palette of harmonious shades, from very light to very dark, allowing progressive gradients and checkerboard optical blends.

• Work with a size 20 to 22 tapestry needle for clean penetration into the canvas without tearing.
• Roll up the 8 meters in short lengths of 40 to 50 cm to avoid fraying and maintain the regularity of the dye.
• Pair Agate 713 with lighter grays or beiges to create a refined monochrome gradient.
• Test your tension on a scrap of canvas before bordering or filling visible surfaces.
• This wool is ideal for furnishing projects: cushions, upholstered armchairs, telephone holders or small rugs.

Pair this yarn with pointed tapestry needles and high-density Penelope or Aida fabrics. The other grays and neutral shades of the Colbert range blend effortlessly to form harmonious and timeless compositions.
