With Purple you set an accent you do not see on every piece. That is exactly what makes the tone interesting. Weight 100 and 500 m: the standard figures for sewing thread on a domestic machine. Note colour number 0046. The spool is sold singly, so you can top up one specific tone on purpose.
From cotton fabrics to polyester blends the colour range covers most of what a fabric shop carries. Troja is no embroidery thread: it does not shine, but it takes strain. For structural seams that is the right direction. A spool this size survives several garments before it runs out.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Lila is suitable for
- bags, pouches and cushion covers
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- alterations to shop-bought clothing
Sewing tips
- Stärke 100 passt zu Universalnadeln der Stärken 70 bis 90.
- Ober- und Unterfaden in derselben Farbe nehmen, sonst blitzt der Unterfaden an der Naht durch.
- Bei dehnbaren Stoffen einen elastischen Stich wählen — das Garn selbst dehnt sich nicht.
- Angebrochene Spulen stehend und dunkel lagern, dann bleibt die Farbe frisch.
- Farbnummer zum Projekt notieren; nach Augenmaß trifft man den Ton selten wieder.

Frequently asked questions
Which needle suits this thread?
A universal needle in a medium size matches weight 100. For jersey take a ballpoint needle, for denim a jeans needle — the thread stays the same in both cases.
How far does one spool go?
For a single garment it is usually enough several times over. If you plan a large project in one colour, buy two spools rather than restock mid-seam.
Is the spool sold singly?
Yes, every spool is available on its own. That lets you top up one tone instead of buying a whole assortment of which half sits unused in the box.
Can I mix different threads in one piece?
Better not within one seam. Different threads stretch differently, and your seam then pulls unevenly. Between two separate seams on the same piece it is no problem.
