LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For tapestry and cross stitching on canvas, Colbert DMC 486 Wool in Vent de sable orange 7917 offers a warm and subtle shade. This soft orange, slightly tinged with beige, blends harmoniously with neutral tones as well as more assertive colors. Ideal for embroiderers looking for finesse and regularity, this French wool goes well with small details as well as large areas.

Composition: 100% virgin wool , this 8 meter skein offers a soft texture and exceptional hold on canvas. Made in France , Colbert Wool is distinguished by its regularity and smooth, lint-free feel. Each thread separates easily to adapt the thickness to your work: work in single thread for fine details, in double or triple for dense surfaces. Sand Wind Orange 7917 retains its delicate shine through gentle washes.

• Separate the strands according to the canvas: 1 thread on fine canvas (14-16 pts), 2 threads on medium canvas (10-12 pts).
• Combine Vent de sable 7917 with pearl grays and ivories to create subtle and natural gradients.
• Work with 50 cm needles to avoid thread wear and maintain uniformity of the stitch.
• Clean the finished item in lukewarm water, dry flat on a towel: virgin wool cannot be ironed directly.
• Store your skeins in a dry place and away from light to preserve the intensity of the color.

Complete your tapestry palette by combining this shade with mouse gray threads or lightly shaded blacks for the contours. Lovers of historical canvas will appreciate this timeless shade, perfect for geometric patterns as well as stylized landscapes.
