LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas work, Colbert 486 DMC wool offers a palette of subtle and timeless shades. Sky Blue 7800 captures this soft luminosity, perfect for ethereal backgrounds or delicate gradients. This wool made in France in 100% virgin wool is worked on an embroidery canvas and requires few strands to quickly cover a surface.

Technical characteristics. The 8 meter skein is easily cut to adapt the length of the needle to your pattern. Colbert wool is characterized by its strength and resistance to washing — a major asset for pieces intended for regular use, such as cushions or wall tapestries. Made from 100% virgin wool, it offers a soft hand and a discreet shine that highlights each point without creating a plasticky effect.

• Work with needles of 50 to 60 cm to limit wear on the fiber and avoid knots.
• Combine sky blue 7800 with pearl grays or creams to obtain a harmonious monochrome on your furniture pieces.
• Clean your finished piece in cold water with a mild soap, then gently flatten it by pressing it between two towels — never wring or tumble dry.
• This wool is also suitable for chain stitching on coarse canvas for clean and expressive contours.

Combine this wool with other tones from the Colbert range to create subtle blends, or use sky blue 7800 in full solid color to structure a composition background. A true ambassador of French know-how, Colbert wool is the reliable ally of embroiderers looking for a stable and durable material for their most important projects.
