Gütermann Super Strong Cording Wire - 30 m - No. 442

A very pale, almost white mauve with a lavender tinge: this is what the Gütermann cord yarn n° 442 offers. This discreet shade goes well with light cottons, natural linens, creams and pale greys, where a more intense purple would be too showy.

How to use it

• For a visible hem on light linen, stitch right side up with an elongated straight stitch: the relief of the thread becomes a decorative element.
• To attach a label, collar button, or strap, double the thread and tie with a tight stop knot.
• For sashiko or visible basting stitches, a thick thread gives a sharper line than fine embroidery thread.
• Test the colour on a scrap of fabric before you start: very light shades are best judged in daylight.

For a soft look, pair it with off-white cotton bias and pearly buttons.
