The tone Frog Green brings nature into a project. Beside wood, linen and earth shades it looks self-evident. 400 m at weight 40, printed with colour code 1651 — that is how you find this tone again later. This tone is lightfast, which makes the difference on pieces by a window.
Polyneon is built as a machine embroidery thread: it copes with high stitch counts and runs calmly through the needle. Madeira Polyneon covers the ground reliably. On light tones over dark fabric that pays off in particular. With a matching bobbin thread the reverse of a design stays flat.
What Madeira Polyneon Froschgrün is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- designs on swimwear and workwear
- area fill stitches where the sheen pays off
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
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.
How may I wash the finished piece?
As its fabric allows. The thread is boil-proof and chlorine-proof, so it sets no limit on temperature. That limit comes from the material you stitched on.
How should I store the spools?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Polyester is lightfast, but dust on the thread carries lint into your machine. A closed box is entirely enough.
How do I hoop the fabric properly?
Taut like a drum skin, but without stretching. Pull at the cloth and you get ripples once it comes out. On stretch material a fusible stabiliser on the reverse helps as well.
