LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your canvas and cross-stitch embroidery work, DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is essential. This robust 100% virgin wool yarn offers a natural shine and exceptional depth of color, ideal for creating structured and durable projects. The Dark Rosewood color 7759 combines the warmth of mauve pink with terracotta undertones, perfect for projects with a chic and timeless character.

Composition and format: 8 meter skein in pure virgin wool, made in France. This wool is easy to work with a canvas needle and does not lint, even on tight stitches. Each skein covers a generous surface area for solids and gradients.

Applications: ideal for cross stitching on Aida or linen canvas, embroidery on canvas, needlepoint and tapestry work. The Colbert 486 is also suitable for small free embroidery designs on cheesecloth or embroidery canvas.

• Keep the skein rolled up without unrolling it completely: this prevents knots and makes subsequent repairs easier.
• For a subtle gradient, combine Dark Rosewood 7759 with lighter pinks or pearl grays: the depth is enhanced.
• Work with 40 to 50 cm needles to avoid fraying of the thread on dense work.
• This wool can be dry cleaned or washed very gently in cold water; avoid tumble drying which alters the fibers.
• Perfect for embroidered cushions, canvas paintings and pieces of furniture that require solidity and elegance.

Combine this Colbert 486 with neutral wools — gray, beige, taupe — or with discreet complements to enrich your palette. On a white or ecru canvas, Dark Rosewood 7759 creates a soft and refined contrast. Complete your project with a size 18 or 20 canvas needle for regular stitching.
