Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 6117

This Gütermann cotton sewing thread no. 6117 is a very light bluish pearl grey, softer than a mouse grey and warmer than a white. A practical neutral to keep in reserve.

Composition and dimensions

The coil offers100 m(110 yds) ofMercerized cotton, a cotton treated to be smoother, shinier and easier to dye. TitrationNe 50means that the yarn has a medium fineness: it is suitable for light to medium cottons, shirts and poplins. Each spool is sold individually.

Our advice

• On a fabric with a light grey or glazed blue background, this thread blends into the weft and makes the stitches invisible.
• To assemble white and pale blue in the same patchwork, it serves as a middle shade that does not contrast with either of them.
• For a hand-overlocked on a light shirt, always start with a flat knot hidden under the fold.
• Keep a pale thread rather than white for cream fabrics: the bright white stands out like a line.

This pearl grey goes well with natural linen, chambray cotton or sky blue poplin. Add pearly buttons for the shirt.
