Technical details

Thispolyester cord yarnis delivered in30 m reel(33 yards). A cord is a threaddevious: several strands are twisted together, resulting in a larger thread than a conventional sewing thread. The stitch obtained is more pronounced and better resistant to traction, which is expected from a visible seam. Its shadedeep blue-greenComplements both neutral and strong colours.

Use cases

• Attach a shank button, leaving a space under the head, then wrap the wire around the shank to reinforce it.
• On a grey or ecru linen jacket, sew the buttons in this blue-green to create a discreet colour detail.
• Raise a denim hem by topstitching a few millimeters from the edge, with an elongated stitch.
• Keep a gauge sewn with the thread: this is the best way to check the rendering before sewing the garment.

Combine it with horn or mother-of-pearl buttons for neat finishes. A cotton canvas or corduroy fabric highlights this shade well.
