LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas projects, this Colbert wool from DMC offers a rich texture and remarkable strength. The Clove color 7938, a warm, slightly reddish brown, blends perfectly with neutral tones and earthy shades to create subtle gradients.

100% natural wool made in France, this 8 m skein is characterized by its dense structure and regular thickness. Not divisible, it is worked in a single thread for a uniform finish and optimal coverage on embroidery canvas or medium to large weft canvas. The generous thickness allows surfaces to be covered quickly without having to make multiple passes.

• Thread directly with a tapestry needle for regular, fluid stitches, without risk of fraying.
• Work on Penelope type canvas or 10 to 14 point mono canvas: the wool slides without resistance.
• Use for backgrounds and large solid areas: its volume avoids needle overload.
• Combine with pearl grays or ochres for a natural gradient in delicate shading.
• Clean in warm soapy water after completion, dry flat: wool does not mind gentle washing.

Combine with other Colbert shades for large-scale projects, or with DMC Perlé Cotton for finer contours on the same work. Experienced embroiderers appreciate this wool for its regularity and ease of execution, which makes tapestry accessible even for ambitious projects.
