About Gütermann:

The company was founded in 1864 by Max Gütermann in Vienna. In 1867 he built Gütermann’s first factory in the German Black Forest Village of Gutach. With its’ simple supply of soft, clear water, Gutach was considered an ideal base for the manufacturing and dyeing of silk.

Today, Gütermann employs over 2000 people, Gütermann threads are sold in over 80 countries around the world and the company remains based in Gutach and is run by the same family.

Renowned for the highest quality and exceptional shade-range, Gütermann is the first choice for crafters, quilters and home-sewers in Europe, Canada and Australia.

Continuous research and development, tests at all production stages and quality control of the finished product ensure that all Gütermann thread is of consistently high quality – guaranteed.

About Gütermann Threads:

Gütermann believes in a ‘One Brand Concept’ when stating its’ approach to making threads. Gütermann’s belief is that it offers the right thread for every fabric, stitch and seam – always at a high specification and with high ‘abrasion-resistance’ and a ‘knot-free’ guarantee.

It is this belief that has surely made Gütermann Threads one of the most popular thread ranges among crafters and home-sewers around the world and why here at Doughty’s we won’t hesitate to recommend the right Gütermann thread for your project, whether it be the ‘Sew-All Thread’, a premium thread that will work with any fabric, or one of the more specialist range of threads, suitable for a variety of other types of project.
