Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 7544

This Gütermann yarn n° 7544 plays the duck blue card, a shade between blue and green that enlivens a fabric without dominating it.

Composition and dimensions

The mercerized cotton of this spool of100 mhas undergone a treatment that smooths the fibre and fixes the colour in a denser way, an advantage for a deep shade like this one. The indicationNe 50refers to the fineness of the thread expressed in English numbering: the higher the number, the finer the strand. The 50 is a versatile sewing thread for plain or printed cottons.

Our advice

• On a linen or an ecru canvas, a peacock blue draws a contrasting very graphic topstitching at the edge of a pocket.
• To sew a button at the foot of the thread, slip a knitting needle or a match under the button, sew, remove it and then wrap the thread under the head.
• This shade dialogues with ochres, mustard and coral: plan it for a patchwork with a hot-cold contrast.
• Cut the thread neatly, at an angle, to thread the eye on the first try.

Think wooden or corozo buttons for a natural look. Yellow or rust cotton fabrics complement this shade well.
