Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 718

This Gütermann cotton sewing thread no. 718 plays the neutral card: a greyish beige, close to natural linen, which disappears into the seam. It is suitable for projects where the thread must remain invisible.

Technical characteristics

The coil offers100 mofMercerized cotton. This treatment makes the fiber smoother and more regular, making it easier to pass through the eye of the needle. The GaugeNe 50Expresses the fineness of the thread in English numbering: a high number means a fine thread, which sinks into the fabric without weighing it down. It is sold by the piece, ready to thread on the sewing machine or to use in hand sewing.

Our advice

• For an invisible hem by hand, take only one or two threads of the fabric at each stitch: the greyish beige helps you to keep it discreet.
• If your fabric is between two shades, choose the darker thread than the lighter one, as it is less noticeable when sewing.
• On a natural linen or cotton, use this yarn to assemble the pieces and reserve a contrasting thread for decorative topstitching only.
• Avoid mixing several threads of neighbouring shades in the same visible seam: the irregularity can be seen up close.

Consider pairing it with an ecru linen or sand cotton canvas, and a natural twill ribbon for the finishes.
