LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

For your tapestry and canvas works, Colbert DMC wool offers an incomparable richness of shades. The Curry Yellow 7971 color deploys a warm shade, neither too bright nor dull, capable of structuring a pattern or creating subtle gradients. This 8 meter skein in 100% virgin wool is worked with a tapestry needle on regular embroidery canvas or on pre-printed canvas.

A French wool of recognized quality. Made in France, this wool combines finesse and strength. Its standard thickness (486 twisted strands) adapts to needle sizes 18 to 22 depending on your base fabric and the desired effect. The Curry Yellow shade 7971 leans slightly towards gold, ideal for floral patterns, harmonious backgrounds or contrasts with deep blues and pine greens. The 8 meter length makes it possible to cover a medium-sized area without visible junctions.

• Choose a size 20 or 22 tapestry needle to slide effortlessly through the eye, then into the stitches of your canvas.
• Work with needle lengths of 40 to 45 cm to prevent the wool from fluffing at points of wear.
• To create a gradient towards buff, combine this curry with a lighter straw yellow from the same range.
• On 10 point canvas (small mesh), this skein covers a 5 x 5 cm square in cross stitch; on 5-point canvas, a more airy pattern.
• Dry clean only to preserve the color and shine of the fiber.

Curry Yellow 7971 pairs beautifully with other Colbert DMC shades: pair it with petroleum blue to create an earth-sky harmony, or with olive greens for an autumnal garden effect. This French wool is also the ideal ally for embroiderers looking for a timeless, rich and easy-to-match shade.
