LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool has established itself as the essential ally for canvas embroiderers and classic tapestries. This sturdy, structured thread is ideal for embroidery canvas work as well as large-count canvas cross-stitch projects. Its holding properties and its natural material make it a wise choice for works intended to last.

Composition 100% wool — this noble material offers natural flexibility and a matte finish characteristic of real tapestry. The 8 meter skein allows you to cover medium-sized surfaces without cutting the thread too often. Made in France, this product benefits from French textile know-how recognized worldwide. The color Green blade of grass 7911 presents a natural shade of a vibrant and fresh green, ideal for representing vegetation, foliage or structuring a landscape background on canvas.

This wool is available in a single reference, dedicated to this specific color which fits easily into the green palettes of the DMC collections.

• Work with short needles, around 30 to 40 cm, to prevent the wool from fraying during work.
• Use a hook or a tapestry needle adapted to the thickness of the thread and your canvas for a regular result.
• Blade of grass green benefits from being combined with neutral grays or pale blues to create depth in shading.
• This wool can be cleaned dry or by light immersion in lukewarm water with a mild soap, never in the washing machine.
• On aida canvas or classic cheesecloth, this thread covers completely in two passes on the average counting squares.

Combine this natural green with other shades from the Colbert range to build homogeneous shades: pearl grays or straw yellows create subtle material effects on backgrounds, while petroleum blues bring contrast to shaded areas. DMC offers a consistent palette of greens for botanical gradients.
