Natural and calm: Lime Green suits canvas, linen and anything that belongs outdoors. Colour code 400 and 50 m of yardage — enough for topstitching, monograms and small embroidery. The spool is sold singly.
This thread is meant for accents: topstitching, monograms, small embroidery — not for areas. Gütermann's metallic effect thread comes on small spools and is meant for accents rather than whole designs. A test piece beforehand shows whether tension and speed suit. Note the colour code with your project.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set the tension?
Noticeably looser than for ordinary embroidery. Metallic thread barely stretches and reacts sensitively to pull. Set too tight, it breaks instead of settling into the stitch.
Can I wash the piece?
Yes, at a gentle temperature. The shine survives as long as it is not washed hot or put through a dryer. For occasion wear hand washing is the safe option.
What is the colour code for?
Metallic tones differ in nuances that are hard to describe. The code on the spool is therefore the only reliable detail when you want to restock the same shine.
Is the spool sold singly?
Yes, every spool is sold on its own. Since metallic thread is usually needed for single accents only, one spool often lasts across many projects without running out.
