LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers remarkable density and shine for all your canvas and embroidery projects. The blueberry blue color 7823 develops a deep and saturated shade, ideal for structuring a pattern or creating subtle blue gradients on painted or embroidered canvas.

100% virgin wool worked in a single thread: this wool is easily placed on a tapestry or embroidery needle. Made in France , it guarantees stable quality and consistent dyeing. The 8 meter skein covers a generous surface area without loss of shine on the finished work.

This wool goes particularly well with solid colors to create uniform areas, or combines with pearl grays and sky blues for discreet shading effects. Also ideal on fine or half-point canvas.

• Work in short needles — 35 to 40 cm — to prevent the wool from becoming crisp and retaining its shine.
• Thread it last on the needle to distribute the tension forces on a more robust thread.
• Combine it with whites and creams for dazzling contrasts, or with navy blues and turquoise for harmonious gradients.
• To embroider on cheesecloth 11 or 14, it fills the squares without making gaps and retains its definition in cross stitch.
• Store away from direct light after making to maintain the intensity of the blueberry blue.

Combine this Colbert wool with a medium grain Aida or cheesecloth embroidery canvas, and a No. 22 or 24 tapestry needle depending on your canvas density. Embroiderers who like botanical patterns or gradients find a long-lasting ally in this color.
