Gütermann Universal Sewing Thread - 500 m - White Milk - No. 299

This Gütermann sewing thread in Lait blanc n° 299 plays the discreet card: a greyish off-white, halfway between ecru and pearl grey. It goes well with light fabrics, from natural linen to cream cottons.

Composition and dimensions

The coil offers500 m of polyester yarn, or 547 yards. ThisUniversal Wireis intended for common assemblies: sewing of blouses, household linen, linings. The colour299is not an optical white: it is slightly softened, which avoids the white thread effect that is too visible on an unbleached fabric. Sold by the piece, the spool is easy to rematch thanks to its number.

How to use it

• On pure white fabric, place it next to the yarn before choosing: an off-white may look grayish next to a bright white.
• To build, use this light thread on dark fabrics: it is easy to spot when you remove it.
• For invisible hems by hand, gently pull the thread loosely so that the fabric does not pucker.
• Keep it for linings and finishes of ivory wedding dresses or reception tablecloths.

Complete with a natural-tone cotton bias or ribbon for a harmonious finish.
