Gütermann C Ne 50 Cotton Sewing Thread - 100 m - No. 829

On raw linen or unbleached cotton, the No. 829 colour of this Gütermann sewing thread naturally finds its place. It is a slightly greenish ecru, close to pale linen, which brings freshness to light ensembles.

Composition and dimensions

The coil contains100 mofMercerized cotton, a fibre whose treatment reinforces its shine and regularity. The titleNe 50corresponds to the English fineness scale: a high number designates a fine thread, which remains light in the seam and easy to pass through a medium gauge needle. It is offered individually.

Our advice

• For a greenish ecru fabric, washed linen or gauze cotton, this thread gives a tonal seam that is difficult to spot.
• When gathering by hand, pull the bottom thread rather than the top one to distribute the gathers evenly.
• In patchwork, place it in an assembly of pale printed cottons to unify the whole without creating contrast.
• Set aside a length of thread to test the stop knot: a fine cotton often requires two small breakpoints.

For a linen-toned creation, combine it with cotton gauze and a plain sand bias or mother-of-pearl buttons.
