LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert 486 tapestry wool is the essential ally for your canvas and canvas embroidery projects. Blue Cascade 7928 offers a calming, slightly gray hue, perfect for creating harmonious backgrounds or gradient designs. This 8 meter skein spreads generously on the embroidery canvas, revealing a soft and regular texture which lends itself equally well to flat areas and progressive gradients.

100% virgin wool , the Colbert 486 is distinguished by its French manufacturing, an asset for those who favor local products. The thread is worked without separating - unlike stranded threads - directly on a tapestry needle or fine hook. Its compact structure ensures good hold in the stitches and resistance to wear, even for intensely worn items. The even thickness ensures even coverage on all types of canvas, from fine linen to coarse canvas.

• Thread the entire thread directly onto your tapestry needle, without separating the strands.
• Alternate with other Colbert shades to create subtle and structured gradients.
• Suitable for cross stitch on counted canvas or half stitch on painted canvas.
• Work with short needles — around 40 cm — to prevent the fiber from fraying at the end.
• To combine with the warm shades of the range for contrasting harmonies.

Combine this blue Cascade 7928 with the off-whites and pearl grays of the Colbert range to create nuanced skies. It also harmonizes with deep blues and gray greens, creating marine compositions or soothing landscapes. Perfect for embroiderers who want to work with quality wool, made in France and recognized for its color consistency.
