LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in Air marin 7828 color is your ally for embroidery on canvas and tapestry works. This 8 m skein of 100% wool offers a rich texture and natural shine that structures each stitch. The light blue-gray of the Marine Air color fits in with both marine palettes and refined compositions, bringing subtle depth without overwhelming the composition.

Made in France , this DMC Colbert wool guarantees exceptional dyeing quality and resistance to wear and tear over time. Its generous thickness facilitates work on medium to large mesh embroidery canvas. Each thread separates easily to adapt the thickness to your project — work in multiple strands or braid them lightly to vary the textures on the same piece.

• Use this wool for dense areas: its natural weight quickly fills the stitches and creates a homogeneous and professional finish.
• In gradient with other blues: combine Air marin 7828 with lighter or more intense shades to create subtle marine transitions.
• Embroider with satin stitch or stem stitch: the wool slides easily and allows for clean contours, ideal for fine details.
• Protect your work in progress by delicately wrapping the unused thread around a card: natural wool creases less than cotton under tension.
• Let your finished canvas rest for 48 hours before framing it: the wire stabilizes and takes its final shape.

Combine Air marin 7828 with pearl gray, off-white or navy blue threads to create harmonious ranges on your botanical, marine or geometric canvases. This wool also goes well with warm shades — a light contrast with ocher or terracotta creates interesting depth effects.
