Technical details

ThisGütermann polyester yarnis presented in500m reel(547 yds), referenceNo. 722, shade Os2. Its greyish sand shade, similar to natural linen, goes well with unbleached cotton, linen, burlap or beige gabardine. Polyester ensures a regular thread, which glides well through the eye of the needle. Like all universal threads, it is used for both assembly and hemming.

Use cases

• For an invisible hem on a patterned fabric, take the dominant shade of the background rather than the pattern.
• On a textured linen or cotton, this neutral tone is hidden in the reliefs of the weft.
• Roll up a bobbin of this colour as a reserve: a neutral is used for almost all light fabrics.
• Avoid comparing the shade on the spool alone: lay the thread on the fabric in daylight to check the match.

Pair it with sharp seamstress scissors and tailor chalk for clean markings on your natural fabrics.
