Technical details

The1,000 m reel(1,094 yards) avoids buying new yarn along the way on large structures. Thisuniversal sewing threadis inpolyesterand is sold by the piece. Its colourStrawberry milkshakeis distinguished by a pink slightly tending towards mauve, fresher than a frank candy pink, which goes with many prints.

Use cases

• For decorative topstitching on grey linen or jeans, lengthen the stitch to 3 or 3.5 mm: the pink stands out without looking thick.
• On a printed fabric, choose the dominant shade of the pattern rather than the lightest for a seam that blends in.
• To weave a dark fabric, this pink is much better spotted than a matching thread.
• For a shank button, slip a needle between the button and the fabric before tightening, then wrap the thread around the shank.

It goes well with pearly or off-white buttons, and with pearl grey or sage green cotton bias for matching finishes.
