LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and embroidery projects on aida or cheesecloth. This 7870 trellis green, a subtle shade oscillating between gray-green and khaki, brings a natural depth to the works without overloading the composition. Work this wool on counted or needlepoint canvases: it covers easily and gives relief to each stitch.

A 100% natural wool made in France , renowned for its color fastness and softness in use. The 8 meter skein easily covers a medium sized pattern. This wool is easily separated into strands depending on the fabric used: work with one, two or three strands depending on the desired density and the thickness of your tapestry needle.

• For regular solids, keep a short needle (25 to 30 cm) and apply slight tension: the wool does not twist and accumulates without puckering the canvas.
• Combine this trellis green with natural beiges or pearl grays for an urban and timeless monochrome.
• On 5 pts/cm canvas, three strands of DMC Colbert cover the cross stitch without letting the canvas sweat.
• Ideal for samplers, small paintings, furnishing cushions or textile jewelry: its controlled fineness makes it versatile.
• Clean with warm soapy water after finishing if necessary; French wool will keep its shine for a long time.

To enrich this trellis green, complete your palette with a Colbert in ecru or cream, and a more intense slate gray: you will obtain subtle gradients and a chromatic harmony that pleases the eyes.
