Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 5412

A must-have for those who sew in very dark tones: Gütermann's No. 5412 is a midnight blue almost black, more nuanced than a pure black. It blends into deep navies, raw denims and dark cottons.

Use cases

• Sew under a lamp that shines directly on the work: on a very dark thread, irregular stitches are difficult to spot.
• On dark pants or jacket, double your breakpoints at the beginning and end of the seam, especially at the crotches and pockets.
• Thread the needle in front of a white sheet of paper: a dark thread looks much better on a light background.

For dark denim pants or skirts, add metal buttons and a matching zipper. A white dressmaker's chalk is easy to spot on dark fabrics.
