LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

A true ally of embroiderers and canvas artists, this DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Glazed Raspberry 7758 color offers a deep and nuanced shade, ideal for creating contrast or subtle gradients on embroidery canvas. The richness of dark, slightly gray pink lends itself equally well to flat areas and delicate shades.

Made up of 100% wool, this tapestry wool benefits from French manufacturing which guarantees consistent quality and an exceptional finish. The 8 meter skein can be worked on canvas with cross stitch, Beauvais stitch or needle, depending on your preferences. Its regular thickness allows for homogeneous coverage without fiber fatigue.

• Work on embroidery canvas with 10 or 12 threads per centimeter for a regular and shiny finish.
• Combine this deep pink with shades of pearl gray or ivory white to create an airy floral effect on small surfaces.
• Thread the needle in lengths of 40 centimeters maximum: the wool suffers less from friction.
• Clean your finished item in cold soapy water, then let it dry flat to preserve the shine of the stitches.
• Store away from direct light and textile insects: wool remains the material of choice for longevity.

Combine this tapestry wool with other shades from the DMC Colbert range — anthracite gray, off-white, deep blue — to create sophisticated floral or geometric patterns. A classic of the canvas workshop that embroiderers recognize for its softness and regularity.
