The tone Yellow brings warmth into a project. On grey, denim and natural shades it reads as an especially clear contrast. At 500 m per spool this thread goes a long way. Weight 100 suits the usual universal needles, and the colour number is 0120. On sturdy fabrics your stitch length may sit a little longer so the seam does not pucker.
From cotton fabrics to polyester blends the colour range covers most of what a fabric shop carries. Troja runs quietly through guides and needle eye. That spares your machine and keeps stitch formation even.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Gelb is suitable for
- clothing from wovens and knits
- patchwork and quilting
- 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
Can I sew jersey with it?
Yes, but with a stretch stitch. The thread itself does not stretch; the give has to come from the stitch, otherwise your seam bursts at the first firm pull.
How should I store the spools?
Upright, dry and out of the light. Direct sun bleaches the outer layers over time, and then the tone no longer matches the number on the spool.
Does it suit topstitching?
Yes, as long as your seam should stay flat. For deliberately thick decorative seams on jeans there is heavier thread; for clean, discreet topstitching this one is right.
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.
