How to use it

• On a natural linen or sand-colored cotton, choose this yarn for a barely perceptible tone-on-tone topstitching.
• Sew canvas bag handles by reinforcing them with a square of crossed stitching, stronger than a simple line.
• Make small table linen items: earth pink goes well with clay and linen shades.
• Before choosing, compare the coil to your fabric in daylight, as the color may look different in artificial lighting.
