🧵 Matching Gütermann Thread — £2.50
Recommended for Cotton Denim Fabric - Cobalt
A 100% cotton rigid denim in a striking cobalt blue, with the characteristic darker indigo twill reverse.
The face side is a vivid, saturated cobalt that's noticeably brighter and more intense than your standard indigo. Flip it over and you'll find the deeper, darker reverse typical of a traditional twill weave - which also means you have two distinct looks to play with in a single fabric.
At 280gsm, this sits comfortably in the mid-weight range. Structured and sturdy without being unworkable, it's the kind of denim that holds a clean seam and keeps its shape well - great for garments that need a bit of backbone.

Pre-Wash is Essential!
Before sewing, always pre-wash your denim to prevent shrinkage later. Wash it on a cold or lukewarm cycle with mild detergent and air dry to keep the fabric’s structure intact.
Wash Less, Wear More
Denim doesn’t need frequent washing. Instead, spot-clean small stains and air your garments to keep them fresh. When a full wash is necessary, turn items inside out and use a cold wash to preserve colour.
Opt for a gentle, non-bio detergent to prevent fading and keep denim soft. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can break down fibres and dull the colour.
Skip the Tumble Dryer (If You Can!)
High heat can cause denim to shrink and weaken over time. Air dry where possible, laying flat or hanging to maintain its shape. If using a dryer, choose low heat to reduce stress on the fabric.
Iron with Care
Denim doesn’t need much ironing, but if wrinkles appear, use a medium heat setting with steam. For stubborn creases, a damp cloth between the iron and fabric works wonders.
