The coil of100 mis inMercerized cotton, a cotton treated to be more regular and better dyed. The indicationNe 50refers to the English numbering system: the higher the number, the finer the thread, hence a flexible seam on light to medium fabrics. The thread is sold individually.

Directions for use

• On a grey-beige linen or an earth-coloured cotton canvas, this taupe gives an almost invisible seam, even when topstitched.
• For a handmade buttonhole, wrap the edge with a tight buttonhole stitch, keeping the thread tight but without pulling on the fabric.
• Always compare the coil on the finished fabric, as neutral shades quickly tend to green or pink depending on the light.
• If you sew several layers, test stitches on a scrap folded to the same number of layers.

Pair it with washed linen and horn or wooden buttons for earth-colored pieces.
