LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the yarn of choice for your canvas and cross-stitch projects on canvas. Tuscan Ocher 7922 offers a warm and nuanced hue, ideal for creating sophisticated backgrounds or patterns evoking Mediterranean lands. This 100% natural wool is easy to work with without excessive fluffing, allowing for regular stitches and optimal canvas coverage.

French manufacturing : this 8 meter skein is produced in France, guaranteeing controlled quality and impeccable traceability. The virgin wool of 100% composition offers remarkable color fastness and resistance to recommended dry cleaning. This natural fiber breathes and absorbs moisture without covering the cross stitch or canvas, unlike synthetic threads.

• Divide the thread into two strands for delicate details on fine canvas, or work with all four strands together for a powerful stitch on coarse canvas.
• Tuscan ocher creates subtle gradients combined with creamy beiges or chocolate browns for a natural shading effect.
• Clean dry or in lukewarm water with a mild wool-specific soap: this fiber is preserved for decades.
• On Aida or Etamine canvas, this shade structures stylized landscapes and geometric patterns without being visually overwhelming.
• Test the color on a few points before starting: ocher goes particularly well with autumn palettes and beige upholstery.

Combine this ocher with silk or cotton threads to embroider stems, contours or beaded details: the Colbert wool covers generously while the fine strands bring finesse to the edges of the pattern.
