Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 7463

To sew jeans, an apron or a tote bag in a deep, clean blue, this Gütermann yarn no. 7463 brings an intense, slightly green petrol colour that blends into dark fabrics.

Technical characteristics

This reel contains100 mofMercerized cotton, sold individually. Mercerization is a treatment of the fibre that gives it a slightly glossy appearance and a good colour grip, hence this deep blue. The mentionNe 50refers to the English numbering of cotton: the higher the number, the finer the thread. The 50 is a common sewing thread gauge, suitable for shirt cottons as well as light fabrics.

Directions for use

• On navy denim, this petrol blue gives discreet tonal topstitching; to mark them further by hand, double the thread in the needle.
• For easy to remove casting, make stitches of about 1 cm and do not tighten the starting knot.
• For an invisible hem by hand, stitch only one strand of fabric at each stitch: the thread remains indented.
• Thread the wire in the direction of the spool wire feed to limit twisting.

Pair it with denim or cotton canvas and fairly long hand sewing needles. A tailor's chalk for the markings completes the look.
