Gütermann Sew-All rPET polyester thread set — Bright 10-spool pack, 101 m spools, colourfast

Gütermann Sew-All rPET is a set of ten bright, all-purpose sewing threads made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, suitable for hand and machine sewing across most fabrics.

This collection delivers ten saturated, colourfast threads manufactured from rPET polyester, offering the tensile strength and smooth finish of conventional polyester while using recycled raw material. Each spool holds 110 yards of No. 100 thickness thread, engineered to work cleanly through both hand needles and home sewing machines. The Sew-All rPET line is intended for general stitching tasks — from garment construction and mending to home décor — and performs well in repeated washing and dry-cleaning cycles.

What types of projects can I use this thread set for?

These threads are formulated as an all-purpose option, so they suit a wide range of textile projects. Whether you’re piecing quilts, sewing lightweight to medium-weight garments, repairing seams, or creating decorative topstitching, the set provides consistent results.

• Suitable for woven and knit fabrics, from cotton shirts to polyester blends
• Good for visible seams, hems, and general piecing work
• Colourfast for projects that will be washed or dry-cleaned

Will this thread work in my sewing machine and hand-sewing needles?

Yes — the thread’s No. 100 thickness is compatible with a broad range of needle sizes and machine settings. Gütermann recommends using universal needles between sizes 70/10 and 90/14 depending on fabric weight to achieve balanced stitches without skipped stitches or excessive tension.

• Use universal machine needles 70/10 to 90/14 for best performance
• Appropriate for both hand-sewing and domestic sewing machines
• Smooth finish helps prevent lint buildup and breakage during stitching

How durable and sustainable is rPET polyester compared to conventional thread?

rPET polyester threads are manufactured from recycled plastic bottles but retain the strength and abrasion resistance typical of polyester fibre. They withstand repeated laundering and dry cleaning while maintaining colour integrity and stitch stability, giving you a durable, lower-impact option.

• Made from 100% recycled PET bottles, lowering virgin resource use
• Colourfast and machine-washable; holds up under typical care routines
• No. 100 thickness provides a durable stitch without bulk

What are the spool specifications and colour selection?

Each compact spool contains 110 yards of thread at No. 100 thickness, offering enough length for multiple projects or mending tasks. The set focuses on bright, saturated hues to add bold contrast or cheerful accents to finished pieces.

• 10 spools per set, 110 yards (100 m) each
• No. 100 thread thickness, suitable for general stitching
• Assorted bright colours designed for visible seams and accents

Who is this for? Sew-All rPET is aimed at hobby sewers, small-batch garment makers, crafters, and anyone who wants reliable, vibrant polyester thread with a lower environmental footprint. If you need an everyday thread that performs in handwork and machine sewing, endures laundering, and adds bright colour to projects, this Gütermann set is a practical choice.
