Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 5826

A true ally of light shirts and summer projects, this Gütermann yarn n° 5826 reveals a luminous sky blue, a little more intense than a baby blue. It refreshes a seam without ever weighing it down.

Composition and dimensions

Each coil offers100 mofMercerized cotton, a cotton whose surface has been smoothed to provide a nice luster. With itsNe 50(the English numbering of cotton, where the number increases with fineness), it remains supple and regular on light fabrics. It goes well on poplin, fine canvas, light linen and printed cotton. Its light blue is noticeable in topstitching on neutral tones.

Our advice

• For a shirt, use this blue with topstitching on the collar and cuffs: the discreet contrast enhances a plain white fabric.
• On a light linen, make your assembly seams in a straight stitch, then finish the edges with a zigzag to avoid fraying.
• Iron each seam flat before moving on to the next: they stay sharp and the corners overlap neatly.

Pair it with a white cotton poplin and pearlescent buttons. A matching cotton bias will neatly finish a neckline or armhole.
