Gütermann Cotton 100m in colour 588 is a premium 100% cotton sewing thread that gives your work a natural, refined finish. Soft and smooth to sew with, it is a practical choice for everyday dressmaking, quilting and decorative stitching. If you want a cotton thread that looks authentic and feels pleasant to use, this is a reliable staple for your haberdashery box.

Natural cotton with a matte finish

This thread is made from high-quality natural cotton fibres and has a beautiful matt appearance. It is strong and hardwearing, yet still supple enough to sew comfortably by machine or by hand. It works especially well with cotton fabric and linen fabric, helping you achieve neat, harmonious seams with a professional look.

Versatile for sewing and quilting

Use it for sewing, quilting, overlock and safety seams, button sewing, buttonholes, and decorative seams. The subtle shade makes it easy to match into a wide range of projects, from everyday clothing to more detailed creative work. It is colourfast, light-resistant and suitable for washing at up to 95°C, with hot ironing and normal tumble drying also possible.

Good to know

For best results, Gütermann recommends a universal needle size NM 60-80. Because pure cotton has its own character, it is worth testing the thread tension on a sample first. If you want a more pronounced effect, you can also use the thread doubled for added texture on the fabric.
