This thread holds pink, lilac, rose and cream. The change is short enough that even small areas turn multicoloured. At 200 m the spool covers several designs. Colour code 9912 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. Its appeal lies in unpredictability: which tone lands where in a design is decided by stitch path rather than software.
What Mettler Poly Sheen Bunt is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- 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
Does this thread 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.
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.
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.
