Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 748

Are you looking for a soft straw yellow to match a light fabric? The No. 748 colour of this Gütermann sewing thread offers a golden sand shade, neither too bright nor too pale, which warms up the seams.

Features

The coil of100 mis inMercerized cotton. After mercerization, the fiber becomes more resistant to dyeing and gains in softness appearance. The markerNe 50Classifies the yarn by its fineness: in English numbering, a high number indicates a thin strand. It is a versatile gauge for light to medium weight cottons, poplins and canvases. The yarn is sold by the piece.

Directions for use

• On an ecru, beige or pale yellow fabric, use it for a soft and warm look, almost invisible.
• For a close-up seam such as collar topstitching, take a sample: the straw shade lightens on contact with the light fabric.
• When you mount a zipper by hand, a tight back stitch holds better than a simple front stitch.
• To mend a garment, run the thread in the direction of the threads of the fabric to limit the visible patching effect.

There's nothing like combining this cotton with pearly or light wood buttons, and an ecru grosgrain ribbon for a bright piece.
