LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For embroidering on canvas or making a delicate tapestry, DMC Colbert wool offers remarkable finesse. The Chamois 7853 color, a delicate pinkish beige, brings softness to small to medium-sized projects without overloading the stitches. This tapestry wool is distinguished by its French manufacturing and its 100% wool composition, a guarantee of quality and durability.

Technical characteristics: 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool. The fineness of the Colbert 486 thread allows you to work on tight-count canvases, ideal for fine canvas works or precise embroidered details. Each wick separates easily to adapt the thickness to your project. French manufacturing guaranteeing stable color quality and exceptional washability.

• Work with a needle length of 40 cm maximum to prevent the thread from linting or fraying during stitching.
• On an 18 stitches per inch canvas, the 8 m skein covers approximately 15 to 20 cm² depending on the density of your stitches.
• Separate one or two strands for delicate details, three for medium coverage; Colbert wool lends itself perfectly to these adjustments.
• Combine Chamois 7853 with pearl grays or creams to create subtle gradients reminiscent of stone tones or pastel landscapes.
• Wash dry or at 30°C maximum in delicate wool: this natural fiber retains its luster and flexibility for years.

Complete this shade with threads from the same Colbert range in light gray or taupe to harmonize your compositions. Tapestry wool also pairs beautifully with natural linen canvases or stapled frames for fans of mixed media.
