Features

Each coil contains100 mfrom thread to threadMercerized cotton. Mercerization, a treatment applied to the cotton fiber, makes it more even and gives it a slight shine. FinesseNe 50This is followed by the English numbering of cotton, where a high number designates a finer thread: it is a gauge suitable for light fabrics, which it does not weigh down.

Use cases

• On a cotton voile or a thin light fabric, use it for hand-rolled hems: the color disappears in the fold.
• To gather, prick two rows of long stitches without stopping the yarn at the ends, then pull the two yarns together.
• On a white or ecru fabric, compare the thread to daylight: a pale thread looks more sustained once stitched into the seam.
• To embroider a backstitch initial on a handkerchief, a single strand is enough.

It goes well with cotton veils and light poplins. Thin glass-headed pins go well with it.
