Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 8816

Fancy a soft, slightly greyish sage green for seams that fade into the fabric? This Gütermann cotton sewing thread, colour no. 8816, goes just as well with natural linen as with ecru cottons or botanical prints.

Features

This is aMercerized cotton: this finishing treatment makes the fibre more lustrous and more resistant than raw cotton. TitrationNe 50(English metric number) indicates a thin wire: the higher the number, the finer the wire, resulting in discrete stitches. The spool contains100 mof yarn (110 yds) and is sold by the piece.

Directions for use

• To match, choose a shade that is only slightly darker than your fabric: it blends better than a lighter shade, which is noticeable.
• Before throwing a linen piece, test your stitches on a scrap folded in two thicknesses to validate the stitch length.
• Use this green for the hand-overlock of a natural canvas curtain hem: the stitch blends in with the fibers.

Pair it with universal hand sewing needles and a washed cotton poplin or linen. Tailor's chalk and fine pins complete the look.
