LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool is essential for all your canvas and canvas embroidery projects. Its pure wool fibers offer exceptional coverage and allow you to create works with long-lasting colors and subtle reliefs. The Light Taupe color 7949 soothes and structures: perfect for delicate backgrounds, gradients or solid areas that require depth without heaviness.

100% virgin wool , this 8 m skein can be used on standard canvas (10, 12 or 14 stitches per cm) on needles no. 18 to 22 depending on your tightness. Made in France , it benefits from French textile expertise recognized for its strength and dyeing stability. A thread that does not lint, even after several passes on the canvas.

Available in a rich palette of more than a hundred colors, this wool pairs ideally with other Colbert shades for gradients or multi-colored compositions.

• Work with needles of 30 to 35 cm to avoid premature wear of the thread on the canvas.
• Go over the same place several times to create progressive shading: the wool supports without deteriorating.
• For fine details, use it on low count canvas; for quick solids, choose a more airy canvas.
• Clean your finished work in lukewarm water with a mild soap, then block it slightly damp to stabilize the stitches.
• Combine Light Taupe 7949 with pearl grays or off-whites for a timeless harmony; pair it with warm browns for a subtle contrast.

This wool pairs perfectly with quality canvas and good-sized tapestry needles. Experienced designers appreciate it for its ability to “hold” stitches without slipping, and embroidery made with Colbert retains its luster for years.
