Features

Each coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton: mercerization smooths the fiber and gives it a slightly shiny finish.Ne 50refers to the English numbering of cotton. At this count, the thread remains fine and is forgotten in the seams of light fabrics, such as fine poplin or cotton voile. Its light shade requires a little attention in the choice of fabric: it blends in with pale backgrounds and stands out more clearly on strong backgrounds.

Our advice

• In patchwork, choose a thread that is lighter than your average fabrics: it fades better in the seams.
• On a multicolored print, take the yarn close to the lightest color of the pattern rather than the dominant one.
• To close the hem of a child's clothing, make a slip stitch by hand, which leaves no visible thread on the right side.

Combine it with a liberty or a cotton batiste and white cotton bias. A thimble will make the hand finishes more comfortable.
