This thread holds dark blue, berry and cream. The change is short enough that even small areas turn multicoloured. At 200 m the spool covers several designs. Colour code 9918 sits on the band. The sheen arises inside the polyester filament and therefore lasts.
For area-filling designs a multi thread is the simplest way to gain depth — without a single colour change at the machine. Poly Sheen Multi is the multi-toned version of Mettler's embroidery thread: the same glossy polyester filament, only dyed in sections.
What Mettler Poly Sheen Bunt is suitable for
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
- appliqué on children's clothes
- large letters and numerals
Sewing tips
- Bei der Multi-Variante den Farbwechsel im Motiv einplanen: Flächen wirken lebendig, feine Schrift dagegen unruhig.
- Oberfadenspannung lockerer stellen als beim Nähen.
- Dünnes Untergarn als Unterfaden verwenden.
- Ein Fadennetz über der Spule hält den Ablauf gleichmäßig.
- Bei dichten Motiven das Tempo drosseln, damit der Faden nicht heiß läuft.

Frequently asked questions
What is the colour code for?
On a multi thread it matters more than usual: a sequence of tones is hard to put into words, but the code finds exactly this spool again, even years later.
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.
Can I sew with it instead of embroidering?
For decorative seams yes. For load-bearing seams embroidery thread is the wrong pick, being built for sheen and suppleness rather than the strength a structural seam needs.
Is the spool sold singly?
Yes, every spool is sold on its own. With a mixture that pays off especially, since one spool already brings several tones and no collection is needed.
