LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

Tapestry requires robust and regular wool: Laine Colbert DMC in 100% wool meets this challenge with proven reliability. Tinted in ecru 486, this neutral shade goes well with all projects, from classic canvases to contemporary works. The 8 m skein can be worked on small or medium format canvas, in cross stitch or half stitch.

Spun and dyed in France, this tapestry wool offers regular thickness and optimal hold during work. It does not lint, which makes it easier to insert into the canvas and preserves the precision of your rows. The ecru color 486 can be worked alone for minimalist works or combined with more intense shades to create contrast.

Available in a single 8 m spool, this tapestry wool is part of a collection of wide colors which allows you to gradually build up your palette.

• Use a size 20 or 22 canvas needle for smooth insertion without forcing.
• Measure your needles at 30-35 cm to prevent the wool from wearing out due to friction.
• Combine ecru 486 with pearl grays or warm beiges for subtle gradients.
• Clean your work by brushing it gently with lukewarm water; Tapestry wool is best washed dry.
• Wrap the remains around a piece of cardboard to reuse them for later details or touch-ups.

Combine this ecru Colbert 486 Yarn with a 10 or 11 point Aida canvas for a balanced project. White or ecru canvases highlight the discreet warmth of this color. Complete your harmony with sewing threads or silks in the same ranges if you want contrasting finishes.
