LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool in duck green 7861 is your ally for all your canvas and embroidery projects on canvas. This thick, structured wool generously covers every stitch, providing immediate and satisfying color density. Duck green, deep and slightly bluish, adapts equally well to classic patterns and contemporary compositions.

Made of 100% wool, this 8 meter skein is perfectly suited to needlepoint needlepoint techniques, cross stitch on large stitch canvas and small ornamental embroidery projects. Colbert DMC wool is worked with needles of a size adapted to the canvas used—generally 18 to 22 depending on the density. Made in France, it benefits from recognized French textile know-how.

• Work in regular strokes to obtain homogeneous coverage without excess material on the canvas.
• Combine two or three duck green 7861 with shades of pearl gray or slate blue to create nuanced marine gradients.
• To avoid fraying, use lengths of thread of around 50 centimeters and finish each pass with a chain stitch on the reverse side.
• This wool is dry clean only—do not immerse it in water, as it may become slightly felted.
• Ideal for covering the backgrounds of floral or geometric arrangements without having to divide the thread.

Duck green 7861 blends elegantly with neutral tones—cream, gray, beige—and with warm shades like terracotta or golden ocher. To enhance your work, do not hesitate to combine it with Colbert wool in black or navy blue, which bring definition to the contours and shadows.
