LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers a rich texture and generous coverage for your embroidery projects on canvas. Blue Topaz 715 is a luminous shade, a slightly grayish sky blue, which soothes large surfaces and blends harmoniously with deeper blues or off-whites.

This wool 100% virgin wool is worked as a single thread, without separation of strands. Each skein of 8 meters is ideal for covering medium-sized designs or for creating regular areas on medium embroidery canvas (counting 10 to 14). French manufacturing guarantees long-lasting quality and color fastness, even after gentle washing.

Use this wool with size 18 to 20 tapestry needles, depending on the desired density. It is suitable for cross stitch, cast stitch or shading. Work with needles of 40 to 50 cm to avoid pilling and maintain the shine of the fibers.

• Perfect for blocking backgrounds on canvas without eye strain: sky blue does not dazzle.
• Combine it with whites or pearl grays to create airy depth.
• Try the satin stitch to obtain a smooth, satiny surface.
• This shade completes a marine palette associated with corals and beiges.
• Keep the rest of the skein for finishing touches or touch-ups.

To enrich your palette, combine this Blue Topaz 715 with other DMC Colbert references in contrasting or gradient shades. Greys, dark blues and ivories naturally complement this bright blue. Also consider DMC Light Effects metallic threads to add a touch of sparkle to the details.
