LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Classic tapestry requires a wool that holds colors faithfully and can be worked without fatigue. Banquise bleue 7927 is this soothing shade, halfway between gray-blue and light turquoise, which fits in equally well with geometric patterns and timeless floral decorations. This skein of DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers 8 meters of thick, structuring yarn, perfect for covering the canvas with regularity.

100% virgin wool , this wool is characterized by its exceptional color fastness and its resistance to wear. The regular diameter of this 486 thread allows you to work with the needle on mono or Penelope canvas without needing to separate the strands. French manufacturing , a guarantee of quality recognized for generations in the world of art embroidery.

• Thread your tapestry needle with a working length of 50 to 60 cm to prevent the wool from fraying at the ends.
• On a 10 stitches per inch canvas, count approximately 10 to 12 full stitches to use up 8 yards.
• Combine Banquise bleue 7927 with warm tones — ocher or terracotta — to create a subtle contrast that enhances both shades.
• Clean your finished work by gently brushing it with cold water and a mild soap, then let it dry flat.
• This wool resists bad weather and fading, ideal for hangings intended for spaces exposed to light.

Combine this skein with other shades from the Colbert range to create harmonious gradients: pearl gray for the shadows, snow white for the highlights, or ocean blue to deepen the contrasts.
