LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For tapestry and canvas, Colbert DMC wool offers a reliable and versatile response. The Terracotta 7919 color, a warm orange-red with earthy nuances, asserts itself in both solid colors and gradients. This 8 meter skein in 100% French virgin wool allows you to cover generous surfaces without the need to add color as you work.

100% virgin wool made in France , Colbert 486 can be worked on embroidery canvas, canvas or cheesecloth depending on your count. Its regular thickness – 486 characterizes the thickness – guarantees homogeneous coverage of the support. Terracotta 7919 naturally harmonizes with ochres, brick reds and natural grays for warm compositions. Maintenance is done in cold water on delicate wool, without vigorous spinning.

• Use a tapestry needle suitable for your canvas to avoid splitting the strands and preserve the natural shine of the wool.
• For small details, you can separate the skein into two working portions without losing regularity.
• Pair Terracotta 7919 with neutrals — cream, natural beige — for a subtle contrast that highlights the hue.
• Leave to soak for a few minutes in cold soapy water before rinsing with clean water to preserve the suppleness of the fiber.
• This wool supports thick works and tight cross stitches well without felting under the finger.

Combine this wool with Penelope canvas or Lugana cheesecloth to create geometric or floral patterns in warm tones. Natural wood or bone buttons perfectly complement a creation in Terracotta 7919, as do color-matched sewing threads for finishing the edges.
