LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For tapestry on canvas as well as for embroidery on canvas, Colbert DMC Jaune de Naples 7727 wool offers a warm and luminous shade, perfect for light backgrounds or color highlights. This 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool is divided into four strands, which allows you to adapt the thickness of your line according to the density of your canvas.

Made in France , this Colbert tapestry wool benefits from remarkable fineness and regularity. Its 486 thickness makes it particularly versatile: it works equally well on coarse-grained canvases as well as on denser linen canvases. The 100% wool composition guarantees light resistance and optimal working comfort, without eye fatigue during long embroidery sessions.

• Separate two strands for fine contours and delicate details on linen canvas 12 or 14 threads per centimeter.
• Use the four strands together to quickly fill surfaces on small-grain canvas, without creating burrs.
• This luminous shade is suitable for pastel gradients: combine it with Light Gray 7148 or Cream White 7009 for progressive shading.
• Prefer canvas needles No. 18 or 20 to maintain regular tension and prevent the wool from fraying.
• Install your frame at the right height: such soft wool requires a relaxed posture to protect your wrists.

For full-length backgrounds, combine this Colbert wool with darker colors from the DMC range such as Brown 7455 or Slate Blue 7839, which will structure your composition without overwhelming it. A real haberdashery base for any canvas or art embroidery project.
