This fabric comes in 13 colours
orange, yellow and light green 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 1511 — 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. Polyneon Multicolour is the multi-toned version of Madeira's embroidery thread: the same glossy polyester filament, only with a changing tone.
What Madeira Polyneon Sunrise is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
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
Does multicolour suit lettering?
For large letters yes, for fine lettering rather not. On small characters the colour changes mid-letter, and the wording then reads restless instead of lively.
What is the colour code for?
With multicolour it matters more than usual: a sequence of tones is hard to describe, but the code finds exactly this spool again, even years later.
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.
Do I need stabiliser?
Almost always. Stabiliser holds your fabric steady in the hoop so a design does not distort. On the dense areas multicolour tends to get, it matters especially.
