This fabric comes in 13 colours
This thread holds ochre, olive green, grey and rust. The change is short enough that even small areas turn multicoloured. At 200 m per spool this thread covers several designs. Weight 40, colour code 1600. The sheen arises inside the polyester filament and therefore lasts.
For area-filling designs multicolour is the simplest way to gain depth: what reads flat in a solid thread gains structure here by itself. This thread is built like solid Polyneon — polyester at weight 40, chlorine- and boil-proof — and differs only in its dyeing.
What Madeira Polyneon Coral Fish is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- appliqué on children's clothes
- designs on textiles washed hot
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.
Available in more colours in the Madeira Polyneon series.
Frequently asked questions
How may I wash the piece?
As its fabric allows. This thread is chlorine- and boil-proof, so it sets no limit on temperature. Every tone on the spool is set to the same colourfastness.
How do I set the thread tension?
Looser for embroidery than for sewing. It is right when the reverse shows roughly one third top thread and two thirds bobbin thread, whichever tone happens to be running.
Does multicolour shine like a solid thread?
Yes. It is the same polyester filament, only dyed differently. The shimmer arises in the material rather than the colour, so every section shines to the same degree.
What do I do when the thread breaks?
Slow down and loosen the top tension. A net over the spool keeps the feed calm. The thread is no weaker at colour transitions, so it does not break there more often.
