Aubergine belongs among the tones that work particularly well on grey and charcoal, where a fine contrast appears. This spool carries 500 m of thread at weight 100 plus colour number 0160 — by eye alone you rarely hit the tone again. This thread is bred not for sheen but for a seam that holds.
For repairs the colour number decides: with it you match the old seam's tone instead of guessing. A sewing thread from Amann that stands in your box before you need it — that is what Troja is for.
What Amann Troja Nähgarn Aubergine is suitable for
- bags, pouches and cushion covers
- topstitching meant to lie flat
- 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 thread belongs on the bobbin?
This same thread in this same colour. Different tones above and below show along the seam as soon as your fabric moves. Only embroidery follows another rule.
Does the seam take hot washing?
Yes. The thread is colourfast and copes with usual wash temperatures. What decides is your fabric: wash the piece as its material allows, not as the thread could.
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.
How do I match the tone of an old seam?
Through the colour number if you still have it. Otherwise lay the thread straight onto the seam in daylight — artificial light shifts colours more than people expect.
