Technical details

This coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton. Mercerization consists of treating the fiber to make it smoother and shinier, which explains the brilliance of this blue. The markerNe 50indicates the fineness of the thread according to the English numbering of the cotton: the higher the number, the thinner the strand. The 50 is located in the area of common sewing threads.

How to use it

• On a white or ecru poplin, this blue stands out clearly: ideal for decorative topstitching on a collar or pocket.
• For hand sewing, cut the thread to arm length, about 50 cm: longer, it gets tangled and frayed.
• On thin fabrics, replace the knot with a breakpoint of three small stitches on top of each other to avoid the bump.
• In patchwork, stitch two squares 6 mm from the edge, then compare the seam to daylight before continuing.

This thread goes well with pastel printed cottons and fine sewing needles. A tailor's chalk for tracing the marks completes the kit.
