violet, lilac and cream take turns — a gradient that arises without planning and still looks even. 200 m per spool, colour code 9921: 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. Multi takes the colour changes off your hands: what would otherwise need several spools and stops runs here in one pass. The spool belongs upright in your box so the thread does not unwind on its own.
What Mettler Poly Sheen Bunt is suitable for
- flowers, leaves and ornaments
- borders and edgings
- 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.
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.
How far does one spool go?
That depends on your design. For several medium areas it goes a long way. If you plan a very large design, two spools with the same colour code keep the mixture identical.
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.
