Warm and full: Apricot suits autumn projects as much as children's clothes that are allowed to be colourful. Weight 100 and 500 m: the standard figures for sewing thread on a domestic machine. Note colour number 0147. If you need this tone on several pieces, buying two spools at once is the safer move.
Troja has no place on an overlocker — softer overlock thread exists for that. In a sewing machine it is the obvious choice. This thread comes from Amann and is a classic sewing thread — bred not for sheen but for clean, durable seams.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Apricot is suitable for
- repairs on existing seams
- home textiles such as curtains and covers
- patchwork and quilting
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
What is the colour number for?
It is the identity of this colour. With it you reorder the same tone years later, while comparing by eye or on a screen almost always misses.
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.
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.
What is this thread made of?
It is a synthetic sewing thread, evenly twisted and therefore resilient. Unlike pure cotton it does not lose strength along a seam when washed often.
