Caramel sits in the dark warm range and so reads solid rather than conspicuous. Weight 40 and 400 m per spool are the figures for machine embroidery; colour code 1672 sits on the band. A net over the spool keeps the feed even and prevents loops.
Area fill stitches read more lively with this sheen than with matt thread — the tone shifts with your viewing angle. Chlorine-proof, boil-proof, lightfast: three qualities an embroidery thread needs on everyday textiles. Before your first design a test piece on the same fabric with the same stabiliser pays off.
What Madeira Polyneon Karamell is suitable for
- designs on swimwear and workwear
- area fill stitches where the sheen pays off
- labelling bags and gym sacks
Sewing tips
- Die Oberfadenspannung beim Sticken lockerer stellen als beim Nähen.
- Ein dünnes Untergarn als Unterfaden nehmen, nicht dasselbe Polyneon.
- Ein Fadennetz über der Spule verhindert, dass sich der Faden in Schlaufen legt.
- Nadelstärke 75 oder 80 mit Stickspitze reicht für die meisten Stoffe.
- Bei dichten Motiven langsamer sticken, sonst erhitzt der Faden und reißt.
- Die Farbnummer ist die Identität des Tons — sie gehört ins Projektheft.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate bobbin thread?
Yes. A fine bobbin thread belongs in the case, not this same embroidery thread. Otherwise the reverse builds bulk, a design ripples and your machine pulls more thread than it needs.
Which needle suits it?
An embroidery needle with a larger eye and a slight ball point. It spares the thread and leaves your weave undamaged. A change after each larger project pays off, since blunt points drag.
What is the colour code for?
It is the identity of this colour. With it you reorder the same tone years later, while comparing on a screen or from memory almost always misses.
How do I plan several colours?
Fix the sequence beforehand and lay the spools out in that order. It saves time at each change and prevents similar tones being swapped by mistake.
