LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool is the ally of embroiderers who are looking for a noble and durable material for their canvas works. The Verbena 7771 color, a slightly nuanced soft green, brings a natural delicacy to floral patterns and subtle gradients. This 8 meter skein in 100% wool allows you to cover generous surfaces without multiplying the junctions.

Composition and technical characteristics: 100% virgin wool, packaged in an 8 meter skein ready to use. Made in France according to DMC standards, this wool offers a natural shine and exceptional color consistency. Its standard thickness adapts to classic canvas fabrics (Penelope or Étamine) and allows fluid embroidery without excessive fraying.

• Separate the strands carefully: Colbert wool does not divide like a mouliné, but can be worked at full thickness for solid areas or slightly tapered for fine contours.
• Limit your needles to 40-50 cm to prevent the fiber from fluffing while working on tight canvases.
• Use a canvas needle no. 18 to 20 depending on the count of your canvas, for passage without forcing.
• Combine Verbena 7771 with pearl grays and pastel blues to create harmonious gradients on botanical patterns.
• This wool supports dry care or delicate washing in cold water with mild soap, without spinning.

Complete your palette with other Colbert colors or combine this verbena with DMC Mouliné Spécial contour threads to structure the details of your canvas work. The constant thickness of this wool guarantees a regular finish, essential for large embroidered surfaces.
