This pearl grey thread with bluish reflections, referenced n° 7307 at Gütermann, plays the neutrality card. It blends with unbleached, light greys, pale blues and whites, where pure white would be too sharp.

Technical details

Each coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton. Mercerization gives the fiber a slightly silky appearance and fixes the hue better. TheNe 50refers to the English cotton numbering system, where a high number corresponds to a finer thread. This medium gauge is suitable for common seams on cottons and linen. TheColour No. 7307is offered individually.

Use cases

• For a patchwork frame, stitch long stitches: pearl grey can be spotted without ever clashing with light fabrics.
• If your fabric is printed, choose the dominant color of the pattern rather than the background: the seam camouflages better.
• To sew a button, double the thread and leave a small foot of thread under the button, so that it doesn't press against the fabric.
• Always stitch a few stitches at the beginning and end of the sewing, as cotton slips less than smooth threads but does not lock on its own.

Pair it with light grey linen or white cotton, and slip a sharp pair of sewing scissors into your basket. A comfortable thimble will come in handy for hand finishes.
