Description
green, turquoise, violet and black take turns — a gradient that arises without planning and still looks even. 200 m per spool, colour code 9971: printed so the mixture stays findable. The thread is dyed through, so these tones stay strong over many washes.
It also suits quilting seams and decorative topstitching wherever a seam should look lively. An embroidery thread for areas: on large fill stitches the change shows most clearly. The spool belongs upright in your box so the thread does not unwind on its own.
What Amann Mettler Poly Sheen Multi Lava Lamp 200 m is suitable for
- area embroidery designs with a gradient
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
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
How does the colour change arise?
The thread is dyed in sections. While stitching the colour travels with the thread through your design, so the gradient appears without any intervention and differs on every design.
How may I wash the piece?
As its fabric allows. The polyester is colourfast and every tone on the spool is set the same way, so no section bleeds into another.
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.
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.
