829B FIL A REPRISER 1 PELOTE DE 10G

To repair a tear or reinforce a weakened seam, DMC 829B Black 994 darning thread offers the strength you need. This specialized thread is distinguished by its robustness: designed expressly for darning and consolidation work, it withstands repeated needle tensions without breaking, unlike standard sewing thread.

Composition and origin: 100% cotton, made in France . The 10g spool provides enough length for multiple rounds or to reinforce high-stress areas on elbows, knees and wrists. The color Black 994 blends discreetly with dark fabrics and will also go well with medium-colored fabrics in deliberate contrast.

Work this thread with a fine or medium hand needle, using a single stitch or chain stitch depending on the thickness of the area to be repaired. Its tight twist gives it a nice glide on fabrics without fraying.

• Choose a fine needle for light fabrics (fine cotton, linen), medium for thick canvases and jeans.
• Make needles of 30 to 40 cm to avoid any splitting during sewing.
• For an invisible darning, follow the direction of the weft or warp of the fabric and slightly overlap each row of stitches.
• Also ideal for knitting repeats: throw in a fine crochet strand before picking up the slipped stitches.
• Keep a spare spool: this darning thread is one of the essentials for portable sewing kits.

Combine this thread with Bohin fine steel hand needles and storage cases to organize your darning kit. A pair of small embroidery scissors ideally completes this range of everyday repairs.
