Technical characteristics

Spool100 minpolyester, referenceM 782. "Extra strong" means that the yarn is thicker and more resistant than a standard yarn: it is intended for dense fabrics (canvas, denim, woollen cloth) and for stressed areas such as pocket bottoms or trouser hems. Theswallow greyacts as a neutral: it slips over black, midnight blue, mottled grey or denim without being too visible.

Use cases

• Before choosing, unroll a few centimetres of thread on your fabric in daylight: a medium grey blends into light and dark greys.
• For a tote bag, reinforce the top of the handles with a square crossed out with a cross: the traction is distributed on several sides instead of a single line.
• Replace the needle as soon as you hear a snap at each stitch: a blunt tip skips stitches and frays a thick thread.

For a tote bag or pants, pair it with strap and sturdy zippers. Think jeans needles for layers.
