Technical characteristics

The coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton. Mercerization refines the feel of the yarn, gives it a slight sheen and helps to keep a uniform light shade. The markerNe 50refers to the English numbering: a high number indicates a fine thread, well suited to light and medium-weight fabrics. It is sold by the piece.

How to use it

• Sew layette, lining, or a cotton voile dress with this thread, as its thinness limits the thickness of the seams.
• For a retro detail, make a pink festoon stitch at the edge of a white collar or cotton handkerchief.
• Avoid using it on a very white light background without trying: the pink appears more intense once stitched.
• To stitch by hand, choose a fine, new needle so as not to catch the fibers.

For a soft ensemble, pair it with a plain poplin or a liberty, and an ivory satin ribbon.
