Thepolyesterof this yarn makes it regular and tensile resistant. The1,000 m reel(1,094 yds) is suitable for large construction sites: tablecloths, curtains, stage costumes or bag sets. TheNo. 167is the Gütermann colour number, to be kept to buy the exact same green. This shade goes well with linen, cotton canvas, jersey or wax, and makes a marked decorative topstitching on white or denim.

Our advice

• On jeans, a green topstitching line with a 3.5 mm long stitch adds a highly visible pocket detail.
• To sew a patch pocket, reinforce each corner with a small triangle of tight stitches (1.5 mm): the corner remains sharp.
• A bright green catches the eye: reserve it for visible seams and choose a more neutral thread for the linings.
• On a thick fabric, slide a stronger machine needle to prevent the thread from rubbing and fraying.

Complete with a white or ecru cotton bias and machine needles suitable for woven fabrics.
