A mustard yellow with green reflections, close to chartreuse: the Gütermann cord n° 286 is for those who like to be bold and to take details that stand out from the crowd.

Technical characteristics

This coil of30 mcontains apolyester yarnCord-type, i.e. a coarse thread, formed by twisted strands that give volume to the stitch and hold to the reinforcement seams. This is what makes it visible, where a classic sewing thread is forgotten. It is designed for topstitching, whether it is buttonholes or decorative topstitching. TheColour No. 286stands out in charcoal grey, navy blue, raw denim and black; it also combines with deep greens and browns for an autumnal palette.

Directions for use

• Highlight the buttonholes of a denim jacket by hand-ironing the edge: a yellow buttonhole stitch becomes a signature detail.
• Embroider a chain stitch to write a name or initial on a pocket; first trace the letters with chalk.
• Bring the ends wrong side and secure them under the seam, so that the yellow thread ends don't wander right side up.

Pair it with grey denim or cotton, with metallic buttons. An elongated eye needle will make embroidery easier.
