Gütermann Super Strong Cording Wire - 30 m - No. 474

More intense than its neighbour No. 473, Gütermann cord yarn No. 474 tends towards terracotta pink, a warm copper tone that evokes brick and pink clay. It goes well with natural linen, denim, mustard or plum velvets and fabrics with bohemian patterns.

Composition and dimensions

Thispolyester sewing threadis in coil of30 m. TheCord, a thicker and more twisted yarn than a conventional yarn, provides aIncreased resistanceand a relief marked in topstitching. TheColour No. 474provides a sharp contrast on light backgrounds and subtly blends into rusty tones.

Our advice

• For a visible effect on jeans or a canvas jacket, replace the original topstitching with this thread by redoing the same stitching lines.
• To mark pattern marks on a thick woollen fabric, a frame with this thread is easily removed without leaving a mark.
• To assemble wool patchwork pieces, use a scallop stitch all around the edges.
• Tie the thread at the end of the seam with a double knot: its twist can come undone if the knot is single.

To complete, choose natural wood buttons and a sand-colored linen bias.
