LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 Larimar 719 tapestry wool is your ally for canvas and cross-stitch embroidery works on embroidery canvas. This Larimar 719 color, a bright and soft sky blue, brings lightness to delicate patterns as well as larger solid areas. Each 8 meter skein provides generous length for medium sized surfaces.

Composition and processing: This wool is 100% virgin wool , finely spun for perfect regularity on Penelope or Aida canvas. Made in France , it benefits from recognized French textile know-how. Its thickness allows you to work with a No. 20 or 22 tapestry needle, depending on the density of your canvas. Colbert DMC wool does not separate into strands: you use it as is.

• Thread it onto a short needle and work in needles of 40 to 45 cm to prevent it from fraying prematurely.
• Ideal for Algiers stitches, regular cross stitches and nuanced gradients between pastel shades.
• Clean your items with lukewarm water and mild soap: this fiber can be washed without risk of shrinkage if you respect the air drying.
• Combine it with other Colbert colors to create subtle gradients, from off-white to deep blues.
• Keep your skeins away from direct light so that the Larimar shade retains its shine over time.

To complete your work on canvas, combine this wool with a quality Pénélope canvas and an appropriate needle. The pastel shades of the Colbert range blend beautifully for floral designs, soft landscapes or timeless decorating projects.
