Gütermann Super Resistant Cording Wire - 30 m - No. 130

For discreet but neat topstitching, this Gütermann cord yarn No. 130 offers a very dark, almost aubergine burgundy. It stands out up close and blends in from a distance, which is suitable for formal wear as well as everyday pieces.

Technical characteristics

Thiscord wireis inpolyesterand sells in30 m reel(33 yards). TheCordis a twisted thread: twisted strands form a larger diameter, therefore a more pronounced and more resistant stitch than with a fine thread. The shadedark burgundyReplaces black on dark fabrics and gives warmer depth to seams.

Use cases

• Replace the black with burgundy for the buttons of an anthracite grey coat: the result is more nuanced.
• Topstitch the edges of a collar or lapel 2mm from the seam so that they lie flat.
• Make a crochet chain with the yarn to make a double crochet or small tie.
• Attach a lining to a bag by stitching in the seam of the edges: the thick thread holds without marking.

Combine it with woollen cloth, velvet or synthetic leather and dark buttons. Needles with an elongated eye make it easier to pass through the thick thread.
