Typography Stranded Cotton
C for Charlie, G for Golf, T for Tango. Typography is one of CGT’s premier Edit collections designed by CGT’s very own Katie Dawson. “The spark of inspiration hit me when my son Mac asked me if there was a thread for every letter of the alphabet” – says Katie.
Cleverly using the radiotelephony phonetic alphabet, Katie has designed an innovative collection of twenty-eight threads and patterns.
This beautiful range of colours lend a glimpse into Katie’s love of typography and vintage wartime, bringing the market a mix of rich printers inks, on trend metals of rose gold, copper and industrial steels, rusts and petinas; an eclectic mix to compliment any style and surrounding.
