Composition and dimensions

Thispolyester yarnis presented in1,000 m reel(1,094 yards), a useful length for large clothing or decoration projects. The colourMinky pinkis an ashy mauve, a greyish and subdued pink, which resembles neither the pink nor the purple. It is sold individually and signedGütermann. This powdery shade bridges the gap between greys, pinks and lilac tones.

Our advice

• Try it on a light grey or taupe fabric: the seams remain visible up close, but blend in from a distance.
• For cotton velvet or soft knit, run it through a decorative overlock for a tender contour.
• Avoid pairing it with a bright pink: the ashy shade will look dull next to it. Prefer greys, plums and creams.
• Mark your darts and markers on the frame with this thread on a white fabric: the mauve tone is easy to spot.

Complete with pearl grey jersey, lilac cotton bias and buttons in silver or mother-of-pearl tones.
