This yarn is aMercerized cottontitrationNe 50: the higher this number, the finer the thread, which gives discreet seams on light to medium weight fabrics. Mercerization, a treatment of cotton, gives it a slight shine and a beautiful color grip. Spool of100 m, sold individually.

Directions for use

• On a dark blue, the thread looks darker on the spool than sewn: put it on the fabric in daylight before validating your choice.
• Test the tension on a two-layer folded scrap, never just one, to get back to the real conditions of your seam.
• For tone-on-tone topstitching, lengthen the stitch to about 3 mm: the sheen of the cotton stands out better on a longer stitch.

To mark your marks and finish your pieces, think of a tailor's chalk and hand needles. A washed linen or plain cotton in the same shades completes the whole well.
