Gütermann 100% Natural Cotton Sewing Thread – 100m – Col. 1136 Caramel
Bring a touch of golden warmth to your textile projects with the Gütermann Natural Cotton Thread in Col. 1136 Caramel. This premium sewing thread is crafted from 100% high-quality mercerized cotton, offering the perfect blend of natural fiber charm and high-performance durability. "Caramel" is a rich, honeyed tan—a glowing neutral that evokes the warmth of toasted sugar, making it the ideal choice for autumn-toned fabrics, light leathers, and golden-hued linens.
Each 100m spool represents Gütermann’s commitment to excellence. The mercerization process removes stray fibers and strengthens the cotton, resulting in a thread with a distinctive silk-like lustre and a smooth, lint-free finish. Whether you are piecing a traditional quilt or sewing contemporary garments, this Caramel thread provides a secure, supple seam that complements the breathable quality of natural fabrics.
