LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool, Apricot 7850 color, is essential for embroiderers looking for quality wool for their canvas and tapestry projects. This thick, structured thread wraps around the needle with exemplary regularity, guaranteeing clean, regular stitches, even on large surfaces. Ideal for quickly filling a project, this wool can be worked on embroidery canvas or in traditional embroidery on medium canvases.

100% virgin wool worked in 4 strands, this 8 m skein is distinguished by its French manufacturing and its dyeing with resistant dyes . Apricot 7850 offers a warm, slightly fishy shade, perfect for floral patterns or warm tonal gradients. The stable thicknesses allow you to work with tapestry needle no. 18 or 20, depending on the density of the chosen canvas.

• On a 13-point canvas, the skein covers approximately 15 to 20 cm²; adapt the needle length to 50 cm to prevent the wool from losing its flexibility.
• Combine this Apricot 7850 with beiges or pale pinks for a warm monochrome without harsh contrast.
• For subtle shading, leave a thread less taut when passing over a lighter tone; wool naturally follows depth.
• This wool tolerates washing at 30°C without shrinking, unlike finer yarns: always test on a small area before cleaning the entire item.
• Perfect for mini-cushions, framing small patterns or assembling canvas patchworks: DMC Colbert wool becomes more rigid once the work is finished.

Combine this wool with DMC pearl cottons for fine details, or with other Colbert shades to create progressive shades. Pearl grays, creams and browns soothe a too-bright apricot tone; honey yellows and oranges reinforce it.
