Our advice

• Test on a fall and compare it to daylight: under warm lighting, a dark brown looks redder.
• Fill the bobbin with the same yarn if the wrong side is visible, for example on a blanket or a reversible scarf.
• Limit the thread to 50 cm in length for hand sewing: it twists less and knots less.
• Finish each machine seam with 3 stitches in reverse to lock the thread.

Use it with wooden or synthetic horn buttons, and brown cotton bias for consistent finishes.
