Full details
DMC Tapestry Wool is designed for needlepoint enthusiasts and textile artists who prioritize consistent coverage and a professional finish for their canvas-based projects.

FAQs
How many meters are in a single skein?
Each skein of DMC Tapestry Wool contains 8 meters of thread.
Is this wool suitable for embroidery?
While intended primarily for tapestry and needlepoint, its soft texture works well for specific embroidery techniques requiring a thicker, textured line.
How many colors are available in the range?
The collection features a diverse palette of 390 sumptuous colors.
What is the material composition?
DMC Tapestry Wool is made from 100% virgin wool, combed and twilled for consistent quality.
How should I clean my finished project?
It is recommended to hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry.
Troubleshooting
Wool fraying while stitching
Reduce the length of the thread used for each needle-through; shorter lengths experience less friction against the canvas.
Uneven stitch tension
Use a laying tool to help align the fibers of the wool flat against the canvas as you pull each stitch through.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your needle size is appropriate for the canvas mesh you have selected to avoid over-stretching the fibers. For maintenance, treat your finished projects as delicate items. If cleaning is necessary, use a gentle detergent in cool water and lay the piece flat to dry; avoid wringing the wool, as this can distort the texture and cause pilling. Store remaining skeins in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the pigments.
