This fabric comes in 13 colours
turquoise, petrol and mint succeed one another along the thread. How long each section reads in a design depends on your stitch length. 200 m, weight 40, colour code 1608 — with multicolour that code is the only reliable description. A net over the spool keeps the feed even.
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 Jungle is suitable for
- area embroidery designs with a gradient
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
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
Can I combine multicolour with a solid thread?
Yes, and often that is the better answer: the area in multicolour, the outline in one of its tones. Your design then reads lively while staying clearly defined.
Which needle suits it?
An embroidery needle with a larger eye and a slight ball point. It spares the thread at the transitions and leaves your weave undamaged. Blunt needles drag and break the thread.
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.
How do I hoop the fabric?
Taut like a drum skin, but without stretching the cloth. Pull it and you get ripples once it comes out — on the large areas multicolour tends to get, that shows immediately.
