Technical details

Thispolyester cord yarnis delivered in a reel of30 m. Thicker and more twisted than a conventional sewing thread, it offers aEnhanced Strengthand a clear relief on the seam. TheColour No. 440plays on a soft contrast: it can be seen without being garish.

Use cases

• For contrasting denim topstitching, make a longer stitch (3.5 to 4 mm) so that the relief of the cord is expressed.
• For a handmade buttonhole, pass the tight buttonhole stitch, pulling it tightly towards the edge of the slit to form a small, even cord.
• To mark a pattern piece on a dark fabric, a long basting stitch with this yarn is easy to spot.
• To assemble pieces of felt or boiled wool, a thick thread avoids holes in cotton thread that are too fine.

For the machine, use it with a jeans or leather needle with a wide eye, and add a dark metal button for a toned finish.
