Gutermann Cotton 100m 8816 offers a fine yet strong thread with a silk-like sheen, perfect for those who value natural fibers in their sewing projects. Its soft, supple texture ensures ease of use in both hand and machine sewing. Ideal for lock and step seams, overlock and safety seams, underwear, buttonholes, and decorative stitches, this thread is tear- and abrasion-resistant while remaining elastic and extensible. Light-resistant and colour-fast, it maintains its quality over time. Made from 100% mercerized cotton, it pairs best with universal needles sized 60 to 80 for optimal results.
