Mettler Silk-Finish Cotton kl.1228 150m: a thread with character

The warm, natural shade of kl.1228 works beautifully across a wide range of designs. Made from 100% Egyptian cotton and spun in No. 50, this thread is well suited to patchwork, quilting and general sewing. The mercerised finish helps reduce shrinkage and gives the thread excellent heat resistance, so your finished work stays looking smart for longer. Its slightly fuller feel also creates attractive decorative effects on quilts, garments and home décor pieces.

Colour inspiration for kl.1228

This versatile tone gives you plenty of creative scope. Use it to add subtle depth, or let it stand out against darker fabrics for a striking contrast.

Whatever you sew, the mercerised cotton finish adds a polished touch to every stitch.

Our tip

For best results, use a size 80–90 needle. The 150 metre length is practical for smaller detailed work as well as highlights in larger projects. Always test the thread on a sample first to check the colour and how it behaves with your chosen fabric.
