neon pink, neon orange, yellow and light blue take turns — a gradient that arises without planning and still looks even. 200 m per spool, colour code 9914: 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. Amann Mettler dyes the thread in sections. While stitching that becomes a gradient which turns out slightly differently on every design. Note the colour code with your project — the mixture cannot be described otherwise.
What Mettler Poly Sheen Bunt is suitable for
- decorative topstitching on plain ground
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
- 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
Can I steer where each colour lands?
Only partly. Stitch length influences the rhythm: long stitches show larger blocks of colour, short ones blend the tones more. The exact distribution stays with the stitch path.
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.
Does the multi thread shine like a solid one?
Yes. It is the same polyester filament, only dyed differently. The shimmer arises in the material rather than the colour, so every section of the spool shines to the same degree.
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.
