LAINE COLBERT DMC 1 ECH 8M

DMC Colbert tapestry wool offers a rich and regular texture, perfect for your canvas and embroidery creations. This 100% virgin wool yarn guarantees incomparable strength and softness for projects requiring hold. Work with confidence on your embroidery canvases, your canvases or your petit point projects: this wool is easy to handle and rolls up without unwanted felting.

Composition : 100% wool. Length : 8 meters per skein. Color : White 486, a bright light shade ideal for backgrounds, solid colors or gradients. French manufacturing : DMC controls each stage of production in France, a guarantee of consistent quality. This wool can be cleaned dry or in cold water without agitation; avoid machine washing and high temperatures which could cause the fiber to felt.

• Separate the strands according to your needs: work with the whole skein for large areas, or divide it for more finesse on the details.
• Thread your canvas needle with a length of 40 to 50 cm to limit wear on the fibers when passing through the canvas repeatedly.
• Adapt the size of your needle to the count of your canvas: the finer the canvas, the finer the needle will be.
• Combine this white with pearl gray or ivory colors to create delicate gradients in the background.
• Test on a scrap of canvas before starting your work to adjust the tension of your stitches.

White 486 goes perfectly with the other shades in the DMC Colbert range. Combine it with pale pinks, celestial blues or almond greens for a harmonious project. This wool also allows you to create clear contrasts with dark colors, ideal for outlines and definition of patterns.
