Mercerised cotton gives it a smooth, silk-like lustre and improves its strength and dye uptake — the result is a thread that’s soft and supple in the hand but tough enough to resist tearing and abrasion in use. At 800m per reel it’s a serious working reel, not a sample. Washable to 95°C, it’s particularly well suited to underwear, babywear, and any garment that goes through the wash regularly and hard. Applications include lock and step seams, overlock and safety seams, buttonholes, sewing on buttons, ornamental stitches, and decorative seams. Made in Germany by Gutermann — one of the world’s most trusted thread manufacturers. How to Order Select your colour (Black or White) from the dropdown.
