LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and canvas embroidery projects. This 8 m thread in Pensée color 7895, a deep purple with mauve nuances, wraps around your needle with remarkable density and regularity. Worked in cross stitch, satin stitch or filling, it generously covers the canvas without fraying, providing a smooth and shiny finish to your creations.

Made of 100% wool , this skein benefits from French manufacturing which guarantees consistent quality and traditional know-how. The Colbert 486 is calibrated for standard canvas fabrics and splits into four strands if you want more delicate stitches. Its weight and handling allow rapid progress on medium or large sized works.

• Use all four strands for dense backgrounds and areas that require uniform coverage.
• Separate two or three strands for details, contours and patterns that require precision on a fine canvas.
• Combine Pensée 7895 with pearl grays or whites to create subtle shading effects and harmonious gradients.
• Work with a No. 18 or 20 needle depending on the desired thickness and density of your canvas.
• Tie the skein onto itself after use: the wool thus retains its suppleness and does not unravel in your embroidery box.

To enrich your tinted palette, combine this rich purple with Colbert wools in neutral or complementary shades: beiges, taupe grays or blue-grays create soft contrasts with Pensée 7895. On a canvas representing flowers or a geometric pattern, this color brings depth without overwhelming the entire composition.
