Technical characteristics

Each coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton. Mercerization gives the fiber a smoother feel and a stronger shine. The numberNe 50refers to the English cotton welter system, where a high number corresponds to a finer thread. The thread weaves through fine fabrics such as batiste, double gauze or poplin, with inconspicuous stitches. A light pink blends into pale fabrics: it is well suited to seams that should not be visible. Sold individually.

Our advice

• To sew a layette, make French seams: a fine thread makes them flatter and more flexible.
• Pink on white: For discreet topstitching, keep a medium stitch and don't force the tension.
• Use it to fix a lace by hand to the small side stitch.
• Tie a tight stop knot at each end of the seam on a thin fabric to prevent it from unravelling.

This shade matches white cotton bias and sheer snaps.
