gold, ochre, brown and yellow succeed one another along the thread. How long each section reads in a design depends on your stitch length. 200 m of yardage, colour code 9975 — on a multi thread that code is the only unambiguous description. The thread is dyed through, so these tones stay strong over many washes.
For area-filling designs a multi thread is the simplest way to gain depth — without a single colour change at the machine. This thread is built like solid Poly Sheen — glossy polyester, colourfast — and differs only in its dyeing.
What Mettler Poly Sheen Bunt is suitable for
- area embroidery designs with a gradient
- quilting seams meant to look lively
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
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
Can I combine it with a solid thread?
Yes, and often that is the better answer: the area multicoloured, the outline in one of its tones. Your design then reads lively and still stays clearly defined.
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 should I store the spool?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Direct sun bleaches the outer layers, and in a mixture it shows at once when one tone grows paler than the rest.
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.
