Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 424

To make a utilitarian jacket, a canvas bag or a garden apron, you need a yarn that remains sober. Gütermann's olive green no. 424 plays this role: a deep, matt green, close to khaki tones, which goes well with cotton canvases, corduroy and natural linen.

Composition and dimensions

Each coil offers100 mfrom thread to threadMercerized cotton. This treatment densifies the surface of the fiber, which gives it hold and a slight luster. The sizeNe 50This is followed by the English numbering of cotton, where a high number indicates a fine thread: it is suitable for neat seams on light to medium fabrics.

How to use it

• Reinforce pocket corners with a few tight stitches back and forth: they pick up the tension where the fabric wears first.
• To sew a button, work with the lined thread and keep a space under the button with a match: the button shank thus formed makes it easier to button.
• Iron each seam flat before cutting it again, so that the stitches settle in the fabric.

This shade goes well with corozo or wooden buttons, and mustard or beige cotton bias.
