LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

This DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and canvas embroidery projects. The 7860 petrol blue color offers a deep and sophisticated shade, perfect for marine motifs, waterscapes or structured backgrounds. Worked with cross stitch, satin stitch or traditional canvas, it gives your creations a density and richness of material that fine threads cannot match.

Made of 100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein is French-made which guarantees quality and regularity of the yarn. Colbert DMC wool is characterized by its fineness and natural shine, ideal for medium to large projects. It does not separate into strands: you work with it as is, which simplifies the canvas passages and ensures even coverage.

• Use a single thread for fine and elegant embroidery on 12 or 14 point canvas.
• Combine two strands to cover the backgrounds on 10 point canvas without overloading.
• Test this petroleum blue in gradient with pearl grays or sky blues for a marine depth effect.
• Care: hand wash in lukewarm water, without spinning, then dry flat to preserve the hold of the yarn.
• Opt for a size 18 or 20 tapestry needle depending on your fabric, for a smooth passage without snagging.

Combine this 7860 petroleum blue with complementary DMC Colbert threads — slate gray tones, off-whites, or navy blues — to enrich the depth of your composition. On canvas or Aida embroidery canvas, this wool creates bright areas which structure the work without weighing it down. A trusted creation made in France for your long-term projects.
