LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas projects, Colbert DMC wool offers remarkable hold and shine. This 8 meter thread in Algae Green 7890 color brings vegetal depth to regular stitches, ideal for structuring a pattern or creating subtle gradients on embroidery canvas.

100% pure wool, made in France , Colbert is distinguished by its fineness and regularity. It does not separate into strands: you work with the whole thread as is. Its standard thickness is suitable for needle sizes 18 to 22, depending on your canvas (from canvas 10 to canvas 14). Packaging in 8 meter skeins covers a medium-sized pattern square without excess or shortage.

The Algae Green 7890 color captures the cold tones of the seabed: a slightly bluish gray green that blends equally well with pearl grays and warm ivories. This discreet shade structures without attacking the eye, perfect for composition backgrounds.

• Thread your needle with a needle length of 40 to 50 cm to prevent the thread from linting with repeated passage.
• Work in regular stitches: half cross stitch, tapestry stitch or satin stitch give the best results on canvas.
• Combine this green with navy blues or mouse grays for a harmonious marine gradient.
• Run the yarn in cold water before drying it flat if you want to make the texture softer after weaving.
• Keep the skeins rolled up in glassine paper: the wool is sensitive to direct light, which will fade slightly over several years.

Complete your palette with threads in complementary colors: a DMC Colbert pearl gray for highlights, an ocean blue for contrasts, and why not a fine Aida canvas if you prefer embroidery to tapestry on canvas.
